Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other
countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well
as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
In this environment, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV produced a small gain but underperformed the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year. Stock selection in and overweight exposures to the consumer discretionary, communication services and energy sectors were the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark. Additionally, stock selection in and underweight exposure to the consumer staples sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Positively, stock selection in the health care, industrials and information technology (IT) sectors benefited the Fund’s relative performance.
At the stock level, overweight exposure to e-commerce leaderAmazon.com was the largest detractor on an absolute and relative basis for the fiscal year. Amazon.com came under pressure following third quarter 2018 results and suffered from investors’ general rotation out of growth stocks as they moved toward more defensive areas of the market

in the final quarter of 2018. The stock recovered until June 2019, when the US Department of Justice announced that it would conduct an antitrust review of leading technology platforms to assess competitive conditions. We believed, however, there was extremely low risk of a break-up or a major alteration of the business models of any of the large technology companies over the near term. As such, we viewed the downward market moves as an overreaction. Furthermore, we believe Amazon.com is well-positioned to benefit from increased market penetration in food and consumable goods within e-commerce.
Within communication services, an overweight position inActivision Blizzard detracted from absolute and relative performance for the fiscal year. While our long-term view on the video game developer has not changed, the company reported some disappointments in late 2018 that continued to weigh on the stock. Activision Blizzard announced slower-than-expected growth for its Destiny franchise due to a delayed launch schedule for its Destiny 2 title. This was expected to slow the company’s growth for the second half of 2018 and most of 2019. Given Activision Blizzard’s strong track record of product management and product quality, we viewed these issues as transitory and continued to hold the stock at the end of the fiscal year.
Finally, overweight exposure to the energy sector, including out-of-benchmark exposure toMarathon Petroleum, detracted from both absolute and relative performance for the fiscal year. During the second half of 2018, the Fund held an overweight position in energy based on the view that global crude oil inventories had normalized. Oil supply and demand ended up being out of balance given an unexpected reduction in sanctions on Iran and oil prices plummeted in response. Due to elevated oil inventories, excess spare capacity and risks to global demand growth, we reduced our overweight position in the energy sector. We continued to hold Marathon Petroleum, the largest refiner in the US, as we believed the company was well-positioned to take advantage of many of the disruptions in the oil markets, including price differentials and price swings.
Within the health care sector, overweight exposure toZoetis was an absolute and relative contributor to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year. Zoetis is the largest global animal health
care company and has continued to show strength in its companion animal business. Of particular note is the growing expectation for its oral canine pill designed to treat fleas, ticks and heartworm. We view the animal health care space as a relatively “safe haven” compared to the policies, generic equivalents and pricing concerns that plague the human health care space.
Within the IT sector, underweight exposure toApple and overweight exposure toVisa contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year. Apple detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance as annual iPhone sales fell short of expectations and recent production data suggested a worse-than-feared cutback in phone orders. However, we began trimming our position early in the fiscal year and the Fund’s underweight exposure was beneficial to the Fund’s relative return. Visa recently implemented price increases across almost all its product offerings and reported very positive earnings results despite slowing cross-border volumes. The company also made progress in the emerging alternative payments space.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the style-specific benchmark were in the communication services, consumer discretionary and financials sectors. The largest underweight exposures relative to the style-specific benchmark were in the IT, real estate and health care sectors.
At the close of the fiscal year, our view was that we are in a slowing growth environment as the benefits of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and deregulations were offset by rising labor costs and trade pressures. In such an environment, true growth will likely remain scarce, and we believe the market will favor companies that can produce growth and compound earnings in spite of the economic cycle. We believe that change is the fuel for growth, and thus, we are seeking to identify opportunities in companies that can gain market share from technology-enabled business models, and from disruptive shifts in consumer behavior. Though we anticipate a possible slowdown in the economy, we continue to prudently balance the Fund between dynamic growth opportunities and more durable growth opportunities.
Thank you for your commitment to the Invesco American Franchise Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Growth investing risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to |
| the issuing company’s earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result, they tend to be more sensitive to changes in, or investors’ expectations of, the issuing company’s earnings and can be more volatile. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk.The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Mid-capitalization companies risk. Mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
■ | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant |
amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco American Franchise Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
17 | Invesco American Franchise Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Lending– The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the |
18 | Invesco American Franchise Fund |
| borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included inDividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations— Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts— The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $250 million | 0.695% |
Next $250 million | 0.67% |
Next $500 million | 0.645% |
Next $550 million | 0.62% |
Next $3.45 billion | 0.60% |
Next $250 million | 0.595% |
Next $2.25 billion | 0.57% |
Next $2.5 billion | 0.545% |
Over $10 billion | 0.52% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.58%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed
19 | Invesco American Franchise Fund |
below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $62,032.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A, Class C and Class R shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets, up to 1.00% of Class C average daily net assets and up to 0.50% of Class R average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
With respect to Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $788,195 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $15,663 and $11,311 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund incurred $87,156 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $34,488,300 and securities sales of $443,535, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(152,328).
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $153,767.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $— | $33,773,211 |
Long-term capital gain | 886,080,641 | 493,481,408 |
Total distributions | $886,080,641 | $527,254,619 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | $645,140,495 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 4,672,376,739 |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - foreign currencies | (8,131) |
Temporary book/tax differences | (2,336,319) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferral | (2,957,016) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 5,533,002,215 |
Total net assets | $10,845,217,983 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
21 | Invesco American Franchise Fund |
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $4,553,887,927 and $5,358,576,967, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $4,767,731,793 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (95,355,054) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $4,672,376,739 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $6,205,721,370.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $13,280,668, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $67,600 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $13,348,268. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco American Franchise Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco American Franchise (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,088.50 | $5.37 | $1,020.06 | $5.19 | 1.02% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,084.10 | 9.30 | 1,016.28 | 9.00 | 1.77 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 1,086.90 | 6.68 | 1,018.80 | 6.46 | 1.27 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,089.80 | 4.06 | 1,021.32 | 3.92 | 0.77 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,090.00 | 3.74 | 1,021.63 | 3.62 | 0.71 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,091.00 | 3.32 | 1,022.03 | 3.21 | 0.63 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco American Franchise Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees
are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to
commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the LipperLarge-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s security selection in and underweight and overweight exposure to certain sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance.The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
26 Invesco American Franchise Fund
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also
considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic
reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders:
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-19-287125/g800573dsp002a.jpg)
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for thesell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potentialUS-China trade deal. In May,US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equitysell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the Maysell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.
∎ Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.
∎ Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory andsub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund California’s financial condition continued to improve through the fiscal year, with total revenue rising 6.3% to $284.7 billion from the previous fiscal year.1 This improvement was driven by a 10.6% year-over-year increase in income tax revenues, which totaled $107 billion.1 The state continues to maintain a large and diverse economy, low unemployment rate and high median household income.2 California’s $3 trillion dollar economy accounted for 14.5% of the nation’s economy in the first quarter of 2019.3 In August 2019, Fitch Ratings upgraded California’s general obligation bond rating to AA with a stable outlook, while Moody’s maintained a rating of Aa3 with positive outlook and Standard & Poor’s (S&P) maintained a rating ofAA-with a stable outlook, respectively.4 California’s financial condition has been volatile compared to most states because the state’s income tax revenue | | is sensitive to both national economic conditions and equity market valuations. California’s highest income earners account for a large and disproportionate share of the state’s income tax revenue.5 In 2012, California voters approved a temporary tax increase that was scheduled to expire in 2018. However, voters approved an extension of the temporary tax increase through 2030. While the temporary tax increase improved the state’s financial standing, it also increased the sensitivity of tax revenues to the economic cycle. California maintains arainy-day fund, which the state can use if certain spending criteria are met, or in the event of a natural disaster. Moving forward, therainy-day fund may assist the state’s budget process during periods of weak economic and revenue growth. The broad municipal bond market experienced positive returns for the fifth consecutive year in 2018, and performance remained strong throughout the fiscal year. Investment grade municipal |
bonds returned 8.72% and high yield municipal bonds returned 9.81% during the fiscal year.6 Performance was particularly strong during the first eight months of 2019, with investment grade municipal bonds returning 7.61% and high yield municipal bonds returning 9.91%.6
The fiscal year was characterized by supportive technical conditions (supply and demand balances) as new issuance of municipal bonds totaled $351 billion – down nearly 15% from the previous fiscal year.7 Flows into the municipal bond asset class were positive for the last 34 weeks of the fiscal year.8 A consistently positive flow pattern, coupled with continued limited supply, resulted in strong performance across the municipal bond market. Fund flows totaled $52.1 billion from September 2018 through August 2019.8
For the fiscal year, the high yield municipal bond market outperformed the investment grade bond segment, led by improved price discovery on Puerto Rico bonds as a result of developments in the commonwealth’s debt restructuring, as well as strong performance of high yield general obligation securities.
Municipal bonds withstood considerable headwinds during the fiscal year, including interest rate movements that had the10-year US Treasury yield breaching 2.00% in July 2019.9 Additionally, the US government shutdown, which occurred midway through the fiscal year and lasted 35 days, along with ongoingUS-China trade negotiations and Brexit developments, created a challenging market environment. Both investment grade municipals and high yield municipals posted negative returns for the months of September and October 2018. Worsening market conditions exposed the municipal bond market to

more sensitivity relating to asell-off in US Treasuries in September 2018. Despite these challenges, the municipal bond market performed positively for the fiscal year as technical conditions continued to provide tailwinds.
Concerns about future interest rate hikes led to an increased demand for US Treasuries and investment grade municipal bonds alike, and yields continued to fall as high yield securities rallied. The yield curve for30-year,AAA-rated municipal bonds continued to flatten as trade tensions between the US and China increased worries about inflationary pressures.
During the fiscal year, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds rate two times, in September and December 2018, before lowering it in July 2019.10 The two rate hikes, the eighth and ninth since December 2008, were anticipated and reflected increased confidence in the US economy amid low unemployment, relatively stable inflation and overall robust economic growth. This expansionary monetary policy significantly flattened the US Treasury yield curve with a slight inversion on the short end occurring in December 2018.
However, the Fed’s dovish stance at the beginning of calendar year 2019 took the market by surprise, leading economists to change their predictions from two interest rate increases in 2019 to just one. Despite favorable growth and labor trends, the Fed ultimately reversed course and lowered the federal funds rate in July 2019, citing uncertainty about the global economic outlook. The US Treasury curve was inverted at fiscalyear-end with the yield on the2-year US Treasury note exceeding the10-year note.9 Economist views were mixed as to whether this inversion, the first since December 2005, signaled a possible recession.
As anticipated, US midterm election results had a positive impact on municipal securities as perceived threats to municipal tax exemptions, further tax reform and changes to the Affordable Care Act were greatly reduced. News of a possible ban on flavorede-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes made headlines, which caused a short-lived decline in the valuations of below investment grade tobacco settlement bonds. Meanwhile,year-end demand for yield and coupon payments caused the asset class to end 2018 on a strong note. Investors affected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which instituted a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, poured a
record $18.9 billion into municipal bond funds during the first eight weeks of calendar year 2019, the most recorded over that period in at least 13 years.8 At the close of the fiscal year, we believed municipal fundamentals remained strong and viewed the ongoing impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as a potential market factor. As a result, we believe demand for municipal bond investments could remain strong as retail investors continue to seek tax-exempt income.
Over the fiscal year, underweight exposure to state general obligation bonds and security selection in the higher education sector significantly contributed to the Fund’s performance versus the style-specific benchmark. Security selection inBB-rated bonds also benefited the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in prerefunded bonds and in the airport and special tax sectors detracted from its relative performance. Additionally, overweight exposure to shorter duration bonds (2.99 years and less) detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.
During the fiscal year, leverage contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. The Fund achieved a leveraged position through the use of inverse floating rate securities. The Fund uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for shareholders. However, the use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

8 Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund |
Invesco CaliforniaTax-Free Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of August 31, 2019, and is based on total net assets. |
∎ | | Unless otherwise noted, all data provided by Invesco. |
∎ | | To access your Fund’s reports/prospectus, visit invesco.com/fundreports. |
About share classes
∎ | | Class Y sharesare available only to certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R6 sharesare available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Alternative minimum tax risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwisetax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. |
∎ | | California and US territories municipal securities risk.The Fund is more susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting issuers of California municipal securities than a fund which does not focus its investments in such issuers. As with California municipal securities, events in any of the territories where the Fund is invested may affect the Fund’s investments and its performance. |
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk.The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the |
| value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk.The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk.The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, |
| leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk.Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less |

liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
| ∎ | | Inverse floating rate obligations risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment. |
| ∎ | | Liquidity risk.The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
| ∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
| ∎ | | Market risk.The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When |
markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
| ∎ | | Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities risk.Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value. |
| ∎ | | Money market fund risk.Although money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The credit quality of a money market fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund’s share price. A money market fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant market volatility. |
| ∎ | | Municipal issuer focus risk.The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. |
| ∎ | | Municipal securities risk.The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s |
regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
| ∎ | | Variable-rate demand notes risk.The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss. |
| ∎ | | When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. |
| ∎ | | Zero coupon orpay-in-kind securities risk.The value, interest rates, and liquidity ofnon-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon andpay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates onpay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco CaliforniaTax-Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as anopen-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with afront-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services-Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such asinstitution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in theover-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities.Pay-in-kind interest income andnon-cash dividend income received in the form of securitiesin-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net
|
24 Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund |
investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. | Country Determination– For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on theex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes– The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses– Fees provided for under the Rule12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees– Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees, rating and bank agent fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (“VMTP Shares”), and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any. |
H. | Accounting Estimates– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after theperiod-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
I. | Indemnifications– Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
J. | Floating Rate Note Obligations– The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”), for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Fund. Such securities may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning an underlying bond but generally are created through the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Fund to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer or by the Fund (“TOB Trusts”) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the TOB Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The TOB Trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the TOB Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. Inverse floating rate securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. |
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate notes created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such notes for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust holding the fixed rate bonds may be collapsed with the entity that contributed the fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trust. In the case where a TOB Trust is collapsed with the Fund, the Fund will be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities, which may require the Fund to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation. The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a
|
25 Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund |
disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause the Fund to lose more money than the value of the asset it has contributed to the TOB Trust and greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the termination of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event (“liquidity shortfall”). The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trust.
The Fund accounts for the transfer of fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the captionFloating rate note obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Fund’s floating rate note obligations as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption Interest and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the TOB Trusts as a component ofInterest, facilities andmaintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.
Final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB Trusts. A new TOB structure is being utilized by the Fund wherein the Fund, as holder of the residuals, will perform certain duties previously performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may be performed by a third-party service provider. The Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB structure may increase its operational and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered floaters for its own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered floaters. The TOB Trust, not the Fund, would be the borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However, as previously described, the Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further, the SEC and various banking agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Fund has adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There can be no assurances that the new TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further, there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although atypical, these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
K. | Futures Contracts– The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Other Risks –The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Fund’s investments in municipal securities.
There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certaintax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | |
| |
Average Daily Net Assets | | | | Rate | |
First $ 500 million | | | | 0.47% | |
Next $250 million | | | | 0.445% | |
Next $250 million | | | | 0.42% | |
Next $250 million | | | | 0.395% | |
Over $1.25 billion | | | | 0.37% | |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.47%.
Under the terms of a mastersub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “AffiliatedSub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such AffiliatedSub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such AffiliatedSub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.00%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual fund operating expenses and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary ornon-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into asub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services,sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services orsub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will reimburse IDI for distribution related expenses that IDI incurs up to a maximum of the following annual rates: (1) Class A – up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; and (2) Class C – up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund.Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $24,778 infront-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $8,735 and $410 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
Level 1 – | | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 – | | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 – | | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. |
|
27 Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund |
| Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
As of August 31, 2019, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions andclose-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $29,065,325 and securities sales of $26,064,746, which did not result in any net realized gains (losses).
NOTE 6–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $457.
NOTE 7–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, andTrustees’ andOfficers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ andOfficers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 8–Cash Balances and Borrowings
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any atperiod-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
|
28 Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund |
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the transfer of bonds to TOB Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the year ended August 31, 2019 were $44,708,077 and 1.27%, respectively.

| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 416,455,082 | |
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 444,893,848 | |
| |
The difference between book-basis andtax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to TOBs, accretion of bond discount differences and wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
| |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |

Not subject to expiration | | $ | 6,736,518 | | | $ | 7,966,645 | | | $ | 14,703,163 | |
| |
* | Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 10–Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $75,439,272 and $82,873,037, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reportingperiod-end.

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $434,066,260.
NOTE 11–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $79,916, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $1,923,607 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $1,843,691. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco CaliforniaTax-Free Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | ACTUAL | | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | | Annualized Expense Ratio | |
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | | | Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | |
Class A | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,066.10 | | | | $4.43 | | | | $1,020.92 | | | | $4.33 | | | | 0.85% | |
Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,063.00 | | | | 7.02 | | | | 1,018.40 | | | | 6.87 | | | | 1.35 | |
Class Y | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,067.20 | | | | 3.13 | | | | 1,022.18 | | | | 3.06 | | | | 0.60 | |
Class R6 | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,067.60 | | | | 2.66 | | | | 1,022.63 | | | | 2.60 | | | | 0.51 | |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory andSub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco CaliforniaTax-Free Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which
the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources
that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. Fund Investment Performance
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s exposure to certain types of bonds and security selection in and exposure to certain sectors negatively impacted Fund performance. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

33 Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund |
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative total expenses.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with
respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

2 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair
Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

Throughout the fiscal year, US economic data remained supportive of continued economic expansion as 2019 second quarter gross domestic product grew at 2.0%.1 The US economy continued to add jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 3.7% at the close of the fiscal year, while inflation remained subdued.2 Against this backdrop, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds target rate from a range of 1.75% to 2.00% at the start of the fiscal year to a range of 2.00% to 2.25% at the close of the fiscal year.3 This was accomplished with two 0.25% rate hikes in September and December 2018, followed by a single 0.25% rate cut in July 2019.3 Working against these positive developments, however, were global macroeconomic headwinds in the form of geopolitical trade tension, sub-optimal inflation and the still lingering unknown of Brexit —
the decision by UK voters to leave the European Union. We believe these headwinds, coupled with continued low US inflation, could encourage further Fed rate cuts in the near-term. The uncertainty of the global economic and interest rate environment continued to drive overseas investments into higher yielding segments of the fixed income markets.
The 10-year US Treasury yield continued to move upward at the start of the fiscal year and spiked in October 2018 due to continued strength of the global economy, increased risk of inflation and the high probability of additional Fed rate hikes throughout the fiscal year. However, elevated volatility levels in December led to a severe "risk-off" tone in the markets driving Treasury yields lower. Throughout the remainder of the fiscal year, Treasury yields continued to decline as the Fed adopted a more dovish stance and continued geopolitical uncertainty forced investors to seek higher
quality fixed income instruments. The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the fiscal year at 1.50%, 136 basis points lower than at the beginning of the fiscal year.4 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)
The broader bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 10.17% for the fiscal year. Strong performance for the Fund’s broad market/style-specific benchmark was largely attributable to the sharp decline in US Treasury yields. The four primary sectors of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index — government-related, corporate, securitized and treasury — posted positive returns for the fiscal year.
The Fund, at NAV, generated positive returns for the fiscal year, but underperformed its broad market/style-specific benchmark. Overweight exposure to investment grade credit was the most notable detractor from the Fund’s relative performance. Underperformance from the investment grade credit sector was driven by slightly wider credit spreads and weaker technicals due in part to declining overseas demand for the asset class stemming from heightened foreign currency hedging costs. Security selection in the financials and energy sectors also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year, but was slightly offset by security selection within the industrial and communication services sectors.
Overweight exposure to and security selection in commercial mortgage-backed securities, particularly conduit and single borrower issues, contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the broad market/style-specific index during the fiscal year. The Fund’s out-of-index exposure to US dollar-denominated emerging

market (EM) corporate debt during the fiscal year also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. Out-of-index exposure, such as high yield and US dollar-denominated EM corporate debt, provided gains despite concerns over global growth, a volatile geopolitical environment and a series of juxtaposed Fed actions. Helping to support returns in high yield and US dollar-denominated EM corporate debt were very accommodative central bank policies.
The Fund’s allocation to cash holdings detracted from relative Fund performance, as intermediate and long duration assets rallied during the fiscal year as a result of lower Treasury rates.
The Fund benefited from incremental income earned from transactions in the highly liquid to-be-announced (TBA) market for agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Such transactions involve the Fund selling an MBS to a financial institution, with an agreement to repurchase a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Cash received by the Fund as a result of this repurchase transaction may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received from this activity, generates income for the Fund.
The Fund may use active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating excess return versus its broad market/style-specific benchmark. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. Yield curve positioning refers to actively emphasizing particular points (maturities) along the yield curve with favorable risk-return expectations. Duration of the portfolio was maintained close to that of the broad market/style-specific benchmark, on average, and the timing of changes and the degree of variance from the Fund’s broad market/style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year provided a small boost to relative returns. Buying and selling US Treasury futures and interest rate swaptions were important tools used for the management of interest rate risk and to maintain our targeted portfolio duration.
Part of the Fund’s strategy to manage credit and currency risk in the portfolio during the fiscal year entailed purchasing and selling credit and currency derivatives. We sought to manage credit market risk by purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps at various points throughout the fiscal year. The currency management was carried out via currency forwards and options on
an as-needed basis and we believe this was effective in managing the currency positioning within the Fund.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

spectively.1,2 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 0.84%, 1.59%, 1.09%, 0.59%, 0.56% and 0.46%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to dif-
ferent sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Collateralized loan obligations risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorbs losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. |
■ | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an |
| inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market |

| segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
■ | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the |
| value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
■ | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When |
| markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. The Fund may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Privately issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity guarantees and, therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. |
■ | Municipal securities risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a |
9 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
| decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
■ | TBA transactions risk. TBA transactions involve the risk of loss if the securities received are less favorable than what was anticipated by the Fund when entering into the TBA transaction, or if the counterparty fails to deliver the securities. When the Fund enters into a short sale of a TBA mortgage it does not own, the Fund may have to purchase deliverable mortgages to settle the short sale at a higher price than anticipated, thereby causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of mortgage securities can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited. The Fund may not always be able to purchase mortgage securities to close out the short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. In addition, taking short positions results in a form of leverage, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price. |
■ | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
■ | When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. |
■ | Zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities risk. The value, interest rates, and |
liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of August 31, 2019, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets generally. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
41 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations— Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in |
42 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
| foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts— The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Call Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may write covered call options and/or buy call options. A covered call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security or foreign currency at the stated exercise price during the option period. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written covered call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written covered call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on call options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised.
When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on call options purchased are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change
43 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
M. | Put Options Purchased and Written– The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
N. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/ OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or
44 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of August 31, 2019 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
O. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions - The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in theto be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on borrowings.
P. | Other Risks– The Fund may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. |
Q. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
R. | Collateral—To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $500 million | 0.450% |
Next $500 million | 0.425% |
Next $1.5 billion | 0.400% |
Next $2.5 billion | 0.375% |
Over $5 billion | 0.350% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.40%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2019, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.75%, 1.50%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 0.50% and 0.50%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the
45 | Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund |
following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on December 31, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $325,184 and reimbursed class level expenses of $803,378, $79,335, $13,204, $744,369, $2,500 and $0 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $162,334 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $22,697 and $10,063 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $6,038.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $128,968,351 | $123,915,411 |
Return of capital | 22,647,540 | 5,223,187 |
Total distributions | $151,615,891 | $129,138,598 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | $134,549,548 |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | (82,989) |
Temporary book/tax differences | (131,287) |
Capital loss carryforward | (18,752,251) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 4,128,077,955 |
Total net assets | $4,243,660,976 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to bond premium amortization, wash sales and derivative investments.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
Not subject to expiration | $— | $18,752,251 | $18,752,251 |
* | Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,083.90 | $3.89 | $1,021.48 | $3.77 | 0.74% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,079.90 | 7.81 | 1,017.69 | 7.58 | 1.49 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 1,081.60 | 5.19 | 1,020.21 | 5.04 | 0.99 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,085.10 | 2.58 | 1,022.74 | 2.50 | 0.49 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,085.20 | 2.58 | 1,022.74 | 2.50 | 0.49 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,085.50 | 2.31 | 1,022.99 | 2.24 | 0.44 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees
are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to
commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and above the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board noted that the Fund’s overweight exposure to high yield and investment grade credit as well as emerging markets negatively impacted Fund performance. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund
54 Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund
performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business
infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be
invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other
countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade
war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
The Fund generally invests in each common stock included in the S&P 500 Index in approximately equal proportions, which differs from the market capitalization weighted approach of the S&P 500 Index. Due to the equally weighted nature of the Fund and the capitalization weighted nature of the S&P 500 Index, the Fund will lag the S&P 500 Index when large-cap stocks outperform mid-cap stocks or when market leadership is narrow.
During the fiscal year, on an absolute basis, holdings in the consumer staples, information technology (IT), real estate and utilities sectors generated positive Fund performance.
Key detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the fiscal year included select holdings in the consumer discretionary, energy, IT, consumer staples and communication services sectors. Equally

weighing the stocks in these sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to mega-cap and large-cap stocks within the S&P 500 Index also was a damper on its relative performance.
The top contributor to Fund results during the fiscal year was metal packaging makerBall Corp. The company delivered strong performance during the fiscal year and reported solid revenue growth. Also delivering returns of over 75% for the fiscal year wereChipotle Mexican Grilland Starbucks.3
PG&E was the largest detractor from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the fiscal year. PG&E sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier in 2019 after severe wildfires in 2017 and 2018 resulted in more than $30 billion in liabilities.3
Pharmaceutical companyNektar Therapeutics also detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the S&P 500 Index during the fiscal year. The company’s stock price struggled due to negative revenue growth.
Please note that the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity investments, but the Fund also may use derivative instruments, including S&P 500 futures contracts, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in S&P 500 futures contracts, which generated a positive return and added to the Fund’s absolute performance. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares was 0.53%, 1.21%, 0.78%, 0.28% and 0.16%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to dif-
ferent sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

About share classes
■ | Class R sharesare generally available only to employer sponsored retirement and benefit plans. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
■ | Class Y sharesare available only to certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
■ | Class R6 shares are available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the deriva- |
| tive contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, invest- |
| ments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Indexing risk. The Fund is operated as a passively managed index fund and, therefore, the adverse performance of a particular security necessarily will not result in the elimination of the security from the Fund’s portfolio. Ordinarily, the Adviser will not sell the Fund’s portfolio securities except to reflect additions or deletions of the securities that comprise the Index, or as may be necessary to raise cash to pay Fund shareholders who sell Fund shares. As such, the Fund will be negatively affected by declines in the securities represented by the Index. Also, there is no guarantee that the |

| Adviser will be able to correlate the Fund’s performance with that of the Index. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
23 | Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Lending– The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in |
24 | Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund |
| connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included inDividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | Collateral—To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $2 billion | 0.12% |
Over $2 billion | 0.10% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.11%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and a separate sub-advisory agreement with Invesco Capital Management LLC (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $51,302.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the
25 | Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund |
agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class C shares and Class R shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% of Class C average daily net assets and 0.50% of Class R average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $547,994 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $16,264 and $86,371 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Investments in Affiliates
The Fund’s Adviser is a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. and therefore, Invesco Ltd. is considered to be affiliated with the Fund. The following is a summary of the transactions in, and earnings from, investments in Invesco Ltd. for the year ended August 31, 2019.
| Value 08/31/18 | Purchases at Cost | Proceeds from Sales | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Realized Gain (Loss) | Value 08/31/19 | Dividend Income |
Invesco Ltd. | $13,432,569 | $5,544,659 | $(2,512,618) | $(3,544,765) | $(1,720,046) | $11,199,799 | $907,851 |
NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $12,459.
NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $160,036,754 | $184,421,358 |
Long-term capital gain | 285,010,548 | 36,755,248 |
Total distributions | $445,047,302 | $221,176,606 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $90,317,940 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 172,280,396 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 2,283,944,281 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (234,137) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 4,835,429,322 |
Total net assets | $7,381,737,802 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 10—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $1,667,052,128 and $2,166,259,784, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $2,604,814,274 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (320,869,993) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $2,283,944,281 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $5,110,681,709.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of real estate investment trusts, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was increased by $40,155 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $40,155. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,020.20 | $2.65 | $1,022.58 | $2.65 | 0.52% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,016.40 | 6.45 | 1,018.80 | 6.46 | 1.27 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 1,019.10 | 3.92 | 1,021.32 | 3.92 | 0.77 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,021.60 | 1.38 | 1,023.84 | 1.38 | 0.27 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,022.40 | 0.82 | 1,024.40 | 0.82 | 0.16 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and a separatesub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to
such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the LipperMulti-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods, and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund is passively managed and discussed reasons for differences in the Fund’s performance versus its peers. The Trustees also reviewed more recent
32 Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that there were only four funds (including the Fund) in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board
considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory
requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair
Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central
Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with
bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, cyclical sectors in the Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, with the energy and materials sectors posting double-digit losses. Conversely, the utilities, consumer staples, communication services and real estate sectors posted double-digit gains.
Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the energy sector was the primary detractor from the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. Crude oil prices were volatile during the fiscal year, reaching multiyear highs in October, declining sharply by the end of December, somewhat recovering again in early 2019 and falling again during the summer. Energy stocks mirrored this volatility and a number of the Fund’s largest detractors were in this sector, including

Devon Energy,Schlumberger andMarathon Oil. Another key individual detractor from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index wasOccidental Petroleum. The company engaged in a bidding war with Chevron to acquire Anadarko Petroleum. Although the company’s bid succeeded, many investors believed it overpaid for the acquisition. We sold our equity holdings in Schlumberger and Occidental Petroleum during the fiscal year.
Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector also detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index during the fiscal year.Capri Holdings andCarnival were top detractors within the sector. Capri Holdings is a global luxury fashion company and owner of the Michael Kors brand, which suffered from declining sales during the fiscal year. Capri Holdings reduced its outlook for the Michael Kors brand in 2020. However, the company’s Jimmy Choo and Versace brands have shown improvement, causing Capri Holding to focus more on accessories, which we believe should help boost its profit margins. Shares of the cruise line operator Carnival declined in June after the company reported a profit decline and a weaker outlook for the remainder of 2019.
During the fiscal year, financial holdings were negatively impacted by the flattening yield curve and subsequent concerns over a possible recession due to a slowing economy. Within the financials sector,State Street,Wells Fargo,Citigroup andBank of America were key detractors from the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Much of the sector’s underperformance occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018, and many stocks recovered in early 2019. As a result, we sold our position in State Street and trimmed a number of our other large positions before the close of the fiscal year, taking profits into strength. The Fund remained overweight within the financials sector, but exposure was reduced compared to the last fiscal year-end.
The Fund’s material underweight exposure to the utilities and real estate sectors also detracted from its performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. The Fund maintained underweight exposure to these sectors, as we believe valuations and fundamentals are unattractive.
During the fiscal year, stock selection in and an underweight allocation to the industrials sector was the largest con-
tributor to the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Within the sector,Ingersoll Rand andJohnson Controls were key contributors. Both companies benefited from a strong demand for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) products in both the residential and industrial segments. The Fund’s lack of exposure to General Electric was also a large contributor to the Fund’s relative performance, as the stock performed poorly for the fiscal year.
Stock selection in the health care sector contributed to the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. Pharmaceutical holdingsNovartis andMerck were significant contributors to relative results. Merck’s shares rose during the fiscal year, reaching a near all-time high as strong sales and profit growth boosted the stock. Based on this strong performance, we sold our position in Merck during the fiscal year.
The Fund uses high grade bonds as a source of income and to dampen return volatility. This contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. Bonds fared well compared to most equities during the fiscal year, as yields fell in the US, while bond prices rose. The bond portion of the Fund’s portfolio posted strong returns, outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index. Conversely, the Fund’s allocation to convertible securities underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, detracting from the Fund’s relative returns.
The Fund used currency forward contracts for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies held in the Fund during the fiscal year. These derivatives were not for speculative purposes or leverage, and these positions had a positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance for the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to the financials and energy sectors, and increased the Fund’s exposure to the consumer staples, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight exposures relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index were to the information technology, health care and consumer discretionary sectors, while the largest underweight exposures were to the real estate and utilities sectors.

The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 0.78%, 1.52%, 1.03%, 0.53%, 0.48% and 0.39%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C,
Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 0.79%, 1.53%, 1.04%, 0.54%, 0.49% and 0.40%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Convertible securities risk. The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade. |
■ | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an |
| inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or |

NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE

| price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of |
| the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
■ | REIT risk/real estate risk. Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid. |
■ | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
■ | Value investing style risk. A value investing style subjects the Fund to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. |
■ | Warrants risk. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early, resulting in a partial or total loss. Warrants may also be illiquid. |
■ | Zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities risk.The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Equity and Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
26 | Invesco Equity and Income Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions- Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund |
27 | Invesco Equity and Income Fund |
| enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations— Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts— The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Collateral—To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $150 million | 0.50% |
Next $100 million | 0.45% |
Next $100 million | 0.40% |
Over $350 million | 0.35% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.35%.
28 | Invesco Equity and Income Fund |
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $798,272.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A, Class C and Class R shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets, up to 1.00% of Class C average daily net assets and up to 0.50% of Class R average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
With respect to Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $2,226,848 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $64,719 and $47,309 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund incurred $144,841 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
29 | Invesco Equity and Income Fund |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Average notional value | $859,130,328 | $103,924,761 |
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $51,245.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $287,063,744 | $292,945,136 |
Long-term capital gain | 774,507,870 | 667,114,566 |
Total distributions | $1,061,571,614 | $960,059,702 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $163,166,788 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 485,058,721 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 1,498,558,775 |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | (19,444) |
Temporary book/tax differences | (1,278,937) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 10,988,470,788 |
Total net assets | $13,133,956,691 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, book to tax accretion and amortization differences and contingent payment debt instruments.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $2,694,022,157 and $3,619,890,010, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $14,974,130,011 and $15,302,441,274, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $2,034,821,210 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (536,262,435) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $1,498,558,775 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $11,677,065,564.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of contingent payment debt instruments and return of capital, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was increased by $59,173,080, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $55,370,861 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $3,802,219. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Equity and Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Equity and Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Equity and Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees
are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to
commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s value style of equity investing compared to its peers, including its underweight exposure to technology stocks and its overweight exposure to energy stocks, negatively impacted relative performance. The Trustees also reviewed more
36 Invesco Equity and Income Fund
recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised orsub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the
AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year covered by this report, the senior loan market was characterized by a technically driven sell-off, which was then followed by some of the strongest monthly performance the asset class has experienced in recent
memory. As compared with other risk asset classes, the senior loan market exhibited limited volatility during the fiscal year, despite the constant oscillations in risk sentiment, and returned 3.38%, as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.
From a fundamentals standpoint, the backdrop for loans remained favorable during the fiscal year with a trailing 12-month default rate of 1.29%.1 We believe slow, but positive, growth in the US economy may continue to support fundamentals. During the fiscal year, the overall earnings environment remained supportive of loan issuers despite a moderation in profit growth. Year-over-year EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) growth among the universe of loan issuers was solid in the first quarter of 2019 at 3.0%.1
Trade remained a key source of uncertainty during the fiscal year; however, there have been indications that the Trump administration has been seeking a resolution. Against a backdrop of these trade tensions, the US Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) shift toward a more accommodative monetary posture should help maintain the underlying economic momentum, which has powered consistent earnings improvement in the US corporate sector.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the loan market experienced a technically

driven sell-off, as risk assets fell in price due to investors’ softening growth expectations amid tightening US monetary policy. Unlike prior bouts of volatility, loans were caught in the wave of risk aversion. This resulted in sizeable retail and institutional outflows that led to a very weak technical dynamic and ultimately resulted in a sharp decrease in prices. This was despite the fact that loans, from a fundamental standpoint, continued to remain on solid footing. This narrative quickly reversed in the first and second quarters of 2019, as loans snapped back, returning 5.42%, their strongest performance during the first half of a calendar year since 2009.2 Strong demand from collateralized loan obligations was able to more than offset retail outflows, leading to a more favorable technical dynamic. We believe certain investors’ narrow focus on interest rate expectations — rather than the full spectrum of characteristics that define the loan asset class — has driven this reallocation of capital from senior secured risk toward unsecured risk despite loans offering equivalent yields to high yield bonds.3
The average price in the senior loan market was $96.34 as of August 31, 2019, with 21.3% of the market trading at or above par.4 Given the price of senior loans at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, they provided a 6.13% yield.4
In managing the Fund, we seek to take advantage of market opportunities by decreasing risk in the Fund when we believe senior loans are overbought and increasing risk when we believe they are oversold. We seek to efficiently allocate risk within the portfolio in order to maximize risk-adjusted returns through five different considerations consisting of credit selection, sector migration, risk positioning, asset selection and trading.
During the first quarter of 2019,Vistra Operations,Windstream andTransDigm contributed to the Fund’s performance, whileCheckout Holding,Maxar Technologiesand Serta Simmons detracted from returns. During the second quarter of 2019,Monitronics,Dell Internationaland CSC Holdings all contributed to Fund performance, whileSeadrill, TransoceanandAscena Retail all detracted from performance. We sold our position in Ascena Retail before the close of the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, the Fund’s allocation to recent primary deals, broadly speaking, also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. During calendar year 2019,
the Fund’s credit positioning was a relative contributor to performance, as the Fund has maintained an overweight allocation to higher quality assets, compared to that of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.
The senior loan asset class behaves differently from many traditional fixed income investments. The interest income generated by a portfolio of senior loans is usually determined by a fixed credit spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). Because senior loans generally have a very short duration and the coupons, or interest rates, are usually adjusted every 30 to 90 days as Libor changes, the yield on the portfolio adjusts. Interest rate risk refers to the tendency for traditional fixed income prices to decline when interest rates rise. For senior loans, however, interest rates and income are variable, and the prices of loans are therefore less sensitive to interest rate changes than traditional fixed income bonds. As a result, senior loans can provide a natural hedge against rising interest rates.
We are monitoring interest rates, the market and economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and other central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments and the market price of the Fund’s shares.
As always, we appreciate your continued participation in Invesco Floating Rate Fund.

spectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.09%, 1.59%, 1.34%, 0.84%, 0.83% and 0.75%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 2.50% sales charge and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to dif-
ferent sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Bank loan risk. There are a number of risks associated with an investment in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immedi- |
| ately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding bank loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns. The value of bank loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. Bank loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. |
■ | Borrowing risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage and will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Borrowing money may also require the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. In addition, the Fund will incur interest expenses and other fees on borrowed money. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s borrowing strategy will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s returns. |
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income |
| dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Collateralized loan obligations risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorbs losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. |
■ | Credit linked notes risk. Risks of credit linked notes include those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, default risk and, in some cases, foreign currency risk. An investor in a credit linked note bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the credit linked note will default or become bankrupt and not make timely payment of principal and interest of the structured security. Credit linked notes may be less liquid than other investments and therefore harder to dispose of at the desired time and price. In addition, credit linked notes may be leveraged and, as a result, |

| small changes in the value of the underlying reference obligation may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. |
■ | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Defaulted securities risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the eco- |
| nomic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Financial services sector risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation and are disproportionately affected by unstable interest rates, each of which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services companies may also have concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to unstable economic conditions. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the |
| value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
■ | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When |
9 | Invesco Floating Rate Fund |
| markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Risk of subordinated debt. Perpetual subordinated debt is a type of hybrid instrument that has no maturity date for the return of principal and does not need to be redeemed by the issuer. These investments typically have lower credit ratings and lower priority than other obligations of an issuer during bankruptcy, presenting a greater risk for nonpayment. This risk increases as the priority of the obligation becomes lower. Payments on these securities may be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of subsidiaries and associated companies of an issuer. Additionally, some perpetual subordinated debt does not restrict the ability of an issuer’s subsidiaries to incur further unsecured indebtedness. |

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Principal amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. |
(b) | Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years. |
(c) | Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. |
(d) | Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3. |
(e) | All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. The stated interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. See Note 8. |
(f) | This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2019, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(g) | All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities. |
(h) | Zero coupon bond issued at a discount. |
(i) | The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court. |
(j) | Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is partially or fully in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2019 was $15,051,576, which represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(k) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2019 was $196,342,982, which represented 9.06% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(l) | Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2019. |
(m) | Acquired through the restructuring of senior loans. |
(n) | Non-income producing security. |
(o) | The money market fund and the Fund are affiliated by having the same investment adviser. The rate shown is the 7-day SEC standardized yield as of August 31, 2019. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. |
Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.
Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
40 | Invesco Floating Rate Fund |
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are received in return for changes in the terms of the loan or note.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees— Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining the credit agreement. |
H. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and |
41 | Invesco Floating Rate Fund |
| liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
I. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
J. | Cash and Cash Equivalents – For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
K. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis — The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
L. | Foreign Currency Translations— Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
M. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts— The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
N. | Industry Focus — To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad. |
O. | Bank Loan Risk — Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
P. | Other Risks – The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. |
42 | Invesco Floating Rate Fund |
The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.
Q. | Leverage Risk — The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the common shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments purchased with such leverage proceeds, the higher volatility of the NAV of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the common shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $500 million | 0.65% |
Next $4.5 billion | 0.60% |
Next $5 billion | 0.575% |
Over $10 billion | 0.55% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.61%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.00%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $87,204.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
43 | Invesco Floating Rate Fund |
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $57,584 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $87,867 and $11,771 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended August 31, 2019, there were transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 of $16,639,242, due to third-party vendor quotations utilizing more than one market quote and from Level 2 to Level 3 of $22,627,783, due to third party vendor quotations utilizing single market quotes.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $3,424.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
Effective July 17, 2019, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a revolving line of credit agreement with SSB in which the Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (1) $475,000,000 or (2) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund did not draw on the revolving line of credit. This agreement will expire on July 15, 2020. Prior to July 17, 2019, the Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (1) $500,000,000 or (2) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding
NOTE 8—Unfunded Loan Commitments
As of August 31, 2019, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements with the following borrowers:

NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $113,012,838 | $112,764,276 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $14,596,964 |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - investments | (92,453,573) |
Net unrealized appreciation — foreign currencies | 406,442 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (175,608) |
Capital loss carryforward | (122,730,635) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 2,368,634,215 |
Total net assets | $2,168,277,805 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, foreign currency transactions and amortization differences.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
Not subject to expiration | $5,074,458 | $117,656,177 | $122,730,635 |
* | Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 10—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $1,246,665,694 and $1,751,079,576, respectively. Cost of

investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $25,671,630 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (118,125,203) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $(92,453,573) |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,300,734,641.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and bond amortization, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was increased by $6,073,667, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $5,785,589 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $288,078. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Floating Rate Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period | Ending Account Value (08/31/19)2 | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,016.30 | $5.03 | $1,020.21 | $5.04 | 0.99% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,013.70 | 7.56 | 1,017.69 | 7.58 | 1.49 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 1,015.00 | 6.30 | 1,018.95 | 6.31 | 1.24 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,017.50 | 3.76 | 1,021.48 | 3.77 | 0.74 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,019.00 | 3.66 | 1,021.58 | 3.67 | 0.72 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,018.10 | 3.15 | 1,022.08 | 3.16 | 0.62 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to
such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Loan Participation Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the second quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period, above the performance of the Index for the three year period and the same as the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
51 Invesco Floating Rate Fund
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was in the fourth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative total expenses.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to,sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as well as the additional
services described herein other thanday-to-day portfolio management.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair
Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year began with market volatility as currency issues, rising interest rates in the US and trade concerns weighed on global stocks, with developed markets generally faring better than emerging markets. Emerging markets struggled, particularly China, due to ongoing trade and tariff disputes with the US. Within the US, a stronger US dollar and higher interest rates also dampened returns and contributed to currency depreciation in a number of markets, including Turkey, Argentina and Brazil. Global equity markets, particularly the US, declined sharply in the fourth quarter of 2018 amid rising interest rates, a flattening US Treasury yield curve signaling a possible recession and concerns that higher inflation could result in a more restrictive monetary policy. Investors also had concerns over Brexit negotia-
tions, ongoing trade tensions between the US and China, declining oil prices and fears of slowing economic growth — particularly in the eurozone.
After a relatively calm start at the beginning of 2019, global equity markets faced greater volatility in the second quarter of 2019, hampered by ongoing US-China trade issues, potential for new tariffs and slowing global growth. Global equity markets, particularly China, declined sharply in May, ending a four-month rally. Trade and tariff issues, which were not limited to the US and China, clouded the outlook for many global economies. Disagreement within the UK about its withdrawal from the European Union increased uncertainty for the UK and eurozone economies. Following better performance in June 2019, most global equity markets managed modest positive returns for the sec-
ond quarter, with developed markets generally outperforming emerging markets.
The fiscal year ended much the same as it began, with market volatility. Global equity markets were impacted by the escalating trade war between the US and China, mounting concerns about the outlook for global economic growth and the brief inversion of the US and UK yield curves, which was perceived by some investors as an indicator of a recession. Global equity indexes, in general, ended the fiscal year in negative territory, with developed markets generally outperforming emerging markets.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) performed strongly across most major regions during the fiscal year, with REITs doing well as investors sought defensive income characteristics given the prospects of slower corporate earnings growth for many more cyclical areas of the economy. Earnings reports generally showed a rise in net asset value in most countries and property types. Earnings growth moderated from the elevated levels of recent years to a more historically normal level in the mid-single digit range. Demand for REITs has allowed many companies to issue new equity at favorable valuations and deliver earnings accretive investment transactions. Outside retail real estate, investor and occupier demand for assets remained positive in most of the major global cities and property types during the fiscal year. Retail remained structurally challenged and many retail-focused REITs showed higher than ideal leverage. Leverage levels across the rest of the listed real estate universe remained fairly conservative and appropriate for later cycle conditions of slowing growth.

4 | Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund |
We evaluate securities for the Fund based primarily on the relative attractiveness of income with a secondary consideration for the potential for capital appreciation. The qualified investment universe includes global public real estate equity and debt securities, including common stock, preferred securities, corporate debt and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). When constructing the portfolio, we first set a strategic equity versus debt asset allocation and then apply a fundamentals-driven investment process in an effort to identify securities with certain characteristics including: attractive relative yields, favorable property market outlook and attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
On an absolute basis, common stocks and preferred securities, including convertible preferred securities, had the greatest contribution to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year. Relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, overweight exposure to CMBS and underweight exposure to common stocks detracted from relative performance. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight exposure to preferred securities contributed to relative performance.
From a country standpoint, relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, underweight exposure to the UK and Hong Kong contributed to relative performance, as did overweight exposure to the US. Additionally, strong security selection in the UK, Hong Kong and Canada all benefited the Fund’s relative returns. Conversely, underweight exposure to Japan and security selection within the US detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year.
Top individual contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year included two telecommunication infrastructure-related REITs,American Tower andCrown Castle International. Both companies reported double-digit growth in revenue and funds from operations for fiscal year 2018, with Crown Castle raising its expectations for 2019.
Top individual detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year includedDeutsche Wohnen andMacerich. Deutsche Wohnen, an owner of German residential properties, was negatively impacted by the proposed introduction of new rent regulations in Berlin during the fiscal year. Macerich, which is a retail REIT, detracted from the Fund’s performance on softer net operating income growth. While we remained
concerned about the retail sector and maintained an underweight allocation at the close of the fiscal year, we continued to own Macerich as we believe the company owns high quality assets that should perform better than the retail average.
The Fund has the flexibility to invest across equities and fixed income securities on a global basis, in an effort to take advantage of market dislocations driven by capital market influences rather than underlying commercial real estate fundamentals. We believe the Fund’s ability to invest in both real estate equity and fixed income is particularly beneficial in today’s volatile market environment and can add value throughout the real estate cycle.
The Fund’s fixed income allocation may have the potential to help reduce overall volatility compared to an all-equity real estate portfolio.
The equity portion of the portfolio maintains a bias toward companies with higher quality assets, supply constrained real estate market exposure, generally lower-leveraged balance sheets and most importantly, above average-earnings growth. Listed real estate companies are generally maintaining financial discipline and may benefit from the falling cost of credit with interest rates having declined. Our portfolios seek to capture value creation by listed companies who are actively supplying new assets into markets where there is clear tenant demand. Within the broader investment context, we believe the cash flow security, fundamentally-driven earnings growth opportunity and tangible asset nature of real estate may offer relative attraction to a diversified investor.
We remain committed to owning quality real estate companies that we believe may benefit from sector trends. We continue to seek to manage risk by holding a portfolio that is diversified by property type and geographic location. We also continue to favor lower-leveraged companies with above-average levels of dividend coverage in the portfolio.

The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.25%, 2.00%, 1.00%, 0.93% and 0.83%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed ex-
penses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Fund performance was positively impacted by a temporary 2% fee on redemptions that was in effect from March 12, 2007 to March 12, 2008. Without income from this temporary fee, returns would have been lower.

About share classes
■ | On March 12, 2007, Invesco Select Real Estate Income Fund was reorganized from a Closed-End Fund to an Open-End Fund. Information presented for Class A shares prior to the reorganization included financial data for the Closed-End Fund’s Common Shares. |
■ | Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
■ | Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares are available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk.The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Convertible securities risk. The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade. |
■ | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an |
| inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Depositary receipts risk.Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or |

| price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over |
| short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
■ | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected |
| due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. Privately issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity guarantees and, therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. |
■ | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
■ | REIT risk/real estate risk. The Fund concentrates its investments in the securities of real estate and real estate related companies. Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than larger companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes. |
10 | Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund |
■ | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
20 | Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions- Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund |
21 | Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund |
| enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations— Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts— The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Other Risks - The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. |
Because the Fund concentrates its assets in the real estate industry, an investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural or technological developments.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $250 million | 0.75% |
Next $250 million | 0.74% |
Next $500 million | 0.73% |
Next $1.5 billion | 0.72% |
Next $2.5 billion | 0.71% |
Next $2.5 billion | 0.70% |
Next $2.5 billion | 0.69% |
Over $10 billion | 0.68% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.74%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the ”expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could
22 | Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund |
cause the net annual fund operating expenses and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $28,172.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $10,335 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,419 and $1,737 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,560.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $33,559,537 | $42,527,457 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $18,051,189 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 4,247,920 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 53,860,223 |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | (8,572) |
Temporary book/tax differences | (130,486) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 669,399,896 |
Total net assets | $745,420,170 |
24 | Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $353,680,439 and $690,630,202, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $72,197,009 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (18,336,786) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $53,860,223 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $690,919,799.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies, convertible preferred debt instruments and foreign currency transactions, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $5,486,390 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $5,486,390. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,066.10 | $6.20 | $1,019.21 | $6.06 | 1.19% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,061.10 | 10.08 | 1,015.43 | 9.86 | 1.94 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,066.40 | 4.90 | 1,020.47 | 4.79 | 0.94 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,066.90 | 4.64 | 1,020.72 | 4.53 | 0.89 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,067.40 | 4.17 | 1,021.17 | 4.08 | 0.80 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisoryand Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which
the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources
that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Global Real Estate Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the third quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s
29 Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund
Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised orsub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to,sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as well as the additional
services described herein other thanday-to-day portfolio management.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central
Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with
bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
During the year, cyclical sectors in the Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, with the energy and materials sectors posting double-digit losses. Conversely, the utilities, consumer staples, communication services and real estate sectors posted double-digit gains.
Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the energy sector was the primary detractor from the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. Crude oil prices were volatile during the fiscal year, reaching multiyear highs in October, declining sharply by the end of December, somewhat recovering again in early 2019 and falling again during the summer. Energy stocks mirrored this volatility and a number of the Fund’s largest detractors were in this sector, includingDevon Energy,Schlumberger and

Marathon Oil. Another key individual detractor from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index wasOccidental Petroleum. The company engaged in a bidding war with Chevron to acquire Anadarko Petroleum. Although the company’s bid succeeded, many investors believed it overpaid for the acquisition. We sold our position in Occidental Petroleum during the fiscal year.
Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector also detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index during the fiscal year.Capri Holdings andCarnival were top detractors within the sector. Capri Holdings is a global luxury fashion company and owner of the Michael Kors brand, which suffered from declining sales during the fiscal year. Capri Holdings reduced its outlook for the Michael Kors brand in 2020. However, the company’s Jimmy Choo and Versace brands have shown improvement, causing Capri Holding to focus more on accessories, which we believe should help boost its profit margins. Shares of the cruise line operator Carnival declined in June after the company reported a profit decline and weaker outlook for the remainder of 2019.
During the fiscal year, financial holdings were negatively impacted by the flattening yield curve and subsequent concerns over possible a recession due to a slowing economy. Within the financials sector,State Street,Wells Fargo,Citigroup andBank of America were key detractors from the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Much of sector’s underperformance occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018, and many stocks recovered in early 2019. As a result, we sold our position in State Street and trimmed a number of our other large positions before the close of the fiscal year, taking profits into strength. The Fund remained overweight within the financials sector, but exposure was reduced compared to the last fiscal year-end.
The Fund’s material underweight exposure to the the utilities and real estate sectors also detracted from its performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. The Fund maintained underweight exposure in these sectors, as we believe valuations and fundamentals are unattractive.
Stock selection in and an underweight allocation to the industrials sector was the largest contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000
Value Index for the fiscal year. Within the sector,Ingersoll Rand andJohnson Controlswere key contributors. The Fund’s lack of exposure to General Electric was also a large contributor to the Fund’s relative performance, as the stock performed poorly for the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, stock selection in the health care sector also contributed to the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Pharmaceutical holdingsNovartis andMerck were significant contributors to relative results. Merck’s shares rose during the fiscal year, reaching a near all-time high as strong sales and profit growth boosted the stock. Based on this strong performance, we sold our position in Merck during the fiscal year.
The Fund used currency forward contracts for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies held in the Fund during the fiscal year. These derivatives were not for speculative purposes or leverage, and these positions had a positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance for the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to the financials and energy sectors, and increased the Fund’s exposure to the consumer staples, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight exposures relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index were to the information technology, health care and consumer discretionary sectors, while the largest underweight exposures were to the real estate, utilities and communication services sectors.
As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco Growth and Income Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 0.80%, 1.53%, 1.05%, 0.55%, 0.48% and 0.38%, respectively.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Convertible securities risk.The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade. |
■ | Depositary receipts risk.Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect |
| to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
■ | Derivatives risk.The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always |
| be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Foreign securities risk.The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Management risk.The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk.The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the |

| value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | REIT risk/real estate risk.Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid. |
■ | Sector focus risk.The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
■ | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks.Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
■ | Value investing style risk.A value investing style subjects the Fund to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
17 | Invesco Growth and Income Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions- Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations— Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, |
18 | Invesco Growth and Income Fund |
| interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts— The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $150 million | 0.50% |
Next $100 million | 0.45% |
Next $100 million | 0.40% |
Over $350 million | 0.35% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.36%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $288,533.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
19 | Invesco Growth and Income Fund |
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A, Class C and Class R shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets, up to 1.00% of Class C average daily net assets and up to 0.50% of Class R average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
With respect to Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $310,261 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $9,060 and $3,507 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund incurred $121,236 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $15,798.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts
21 | Invesco Growth and Income Fund |
accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $144,724,735 | $165,328,326 |
Long-term capital gain | 739,045,482 | 714,094,719 |
Total distributions | $883,770,217 | $879,423,045 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $33,917,524 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 443,625,876 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 1,155,440,404 |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | (15,575) |
Temporary book/tax differences | (689,378) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 5,094,710,014 |
Total net assets | $6,726,988,865 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and forward contracts.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $1,636,527,123 and $2,646,551,744, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $1,541,961,465 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (386,521,061) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $1,155,440,404 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $5,629,781,458.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distributions and foreign currency transactions, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,739,231, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $1,454,908 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $3,194,139. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Growth and Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Growth and Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $999.10 | $4.08 | $1,021.12 | $4.13 | 0.81% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 995.80 | 7.50 | 1,017.69 | 7.58 | 1.49 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 997.90 | 5.34 | 1,019.86 | 5.40 | 1.06 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,000.30 | 2.82 | 1,022.38 | 2.85 | 0.56 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.70 | 2.42 | 1,022.79 | 2.45 | 0.48 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,001.10 | 1.92 | 1,023.29 | 1.94 | 0.38 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Growth and Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees
are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to
commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the LipperLarge-Cap Value Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s overweight and underweight exposure to and stock selection in certain sectors negatively impacted performance. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
26 Invesco Growth and Income Fund
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised orsub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements.
The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal
year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of
2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
The Fund, by design, exhibited a lower volatility level during the fiscal year than its style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund seeks to create a diversified portfolio with a volatility target between a minimum variance portfolio and the style-specific benchmark. The portfolio utilizes both a multi-factor model and a proprietary risk model to build intended exposures to factors that historically have driven excess returns (Quality, Value and Momentum). Both models systematically evaluate fundamental and behavioral factors to rank securities based on their exposure to these factors and to rank attractiveness

relative to industry peers subject to intended risk targets.
During the fiscal year, overall factor performance was weak in the Fund with Value factors exhibiting the weakest performance as several reversals in market sentiment led to uncertainty among investors. Historically, our factors have exhibited low to negative correlation, which should provide a diversification benefit. However, factors within Momentum (both Price Momentum and Earnings Momentum) were hampered by negative changes in market sentiment that occurred during the fiscal year. It is a rare occurrence when all factor categories are negative — factor scores last exhibited this magnitude of weakness during the sharp rise off the bottom in 2009.
From a sector perspective, the health care, information technology (IT), consumer discretionary, materials, consumer staples and energy sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year, while the utilities and financials sectors contributed to relative Fund performance. The Fund ended the fiscal year with overweight allocations in the consumer discretionary, health care, materials, real estate and utilities sectors, and underweight allocations in the financials, industrials, communication services and IT sectors relative to the style-specific benchmark.
Top performers within utilities includedEntergy andFirstEnergy, which performed well as defensive stocks tend to hold up better during market volatility and downturns.Booz Allen Hamilton was also a key contributor to the Fund’s performance, as the company delivered strong revenue growth during the fiscal year. Additionally,Starbucks contributed to the Fund’s performance, as its stock price rose nearly 50% during the fiscal year.3
The largest detractor from the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year wasWalgreens Boots Alliance, as the company cut its 2019 earnings forecast and reported a disappointing profit in the face of lower drug prices. Other key detractors includedHuntsman, Endo International andMethanex. Endo’s stock came under pressure during the fiscal year as revenue fell and net losses mounted. Methanex’s stock price struggled, as methanol prices continued to decline on decreasing demand and trade issues. We sold our positions in Walgreens Boots Alliance, Huntsman, Endo International
and Methanex before the close of the fiscal year.
Please note that the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity investments, but the Fund also may use derivative instruments, including S&P 500 futures contracts, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in S&P 500 futures contracts, which delivered a positive absolute return for the Fund. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Thank you for investing in Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-
end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
■ | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. |
| Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and |
| the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is income and long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y and Investor Class shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
17 | Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions- Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the |
18 | Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund |
| Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included inDividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | Collateral—To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 2.00%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $6,140.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $11,023 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $816 and $800 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Average notional value | $5,470,562 |
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $6,457.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $2,743,731 | $4,392,696 |
Long-term capital gain | 4,335,178 | — |
Total distributions | $7,078,909 | $4,392,696 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $1,134,817 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 6,315,919 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (176,537) |
Capital loss carryforward | (10,534,239) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 219,413,182 |
Total net assets | $216,153,142 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to futures contracts.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward |
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
Not subject to expiration | $10,534,239 | $— | $10,534,239 |
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $269,375,374 and $289,317,572, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $18,982,400 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (12,666,481) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $6,315,919 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $210,560,598.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distributions, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $16,837 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $16,837. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $961.50 | $5.93 | $1,019.16 | $6.11 | 1.20% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 958.00 | 9.62 | 1,015.38 | 9.91 | 1.95 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 961.00 | 7.17 | 1,017.90 | 7.38 | 1.45 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 962.80 | 4.70 | 1,020.42 | 4.84 | 0.95 |
Investor Class | 1,000.00 | 962.50 | 5.94 | 1,019.16 | 6.11 | 1.20 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 964.70 | 3.66 | 1,021.48 | 3.77 | 0.74 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 963.80 | 3.61 | 1,021.53 | 3.72 | 0.73 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which
the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources
that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the valuation component of the Fund’s multi-factor model investment process and its underweight exposure to and stock selection in certain sectors and capitalization sizes detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Trustees also reviewed more
26 Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund
recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory
and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives
advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
Pennsylvania benefits from a highly diversified economy that tends to track the national economy but with less volatility. During periods of national economic contraction, Pennsylvania will often outperform the US in real gross state product, real personal income and employment. However, during periods of economic expansion, Pennsylvania will often lag the rate of growth in the national economy.1 Pennsylvania’s population grew an estimated 0.8% between 2010 and 2018, to 12.8 million, lagging the country as a whole, which grew by 6% during the same time period.2 Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate stood at 3.9% in July 2019 versus 3.7% for the US.3Pennsylvania is expected to add jobs at an average annual rate of 0.7% between 2018 and 2020.1
Pennsylvania has made efforts to improve its overall financial condition, including raising several taxes as part of its fiscal 2017-18 budget.1 In addition to the enactment of recurring revenue streams, the government is also working
to shrink its long-term cost drivers.1 At the end of the fiscal year, Pennsylvania’s general obligation bonds were rated A+ by Standard & Poor’s (S&P); AA- by Fitch Ratings; and Aa3 by Moody’s, all with stable outlooks.4
The broad municipal bond market experienced positive returns for the fifth consecutive year in 2018, and performance remained strong throughout the fiscal year. Investment grade municipal bonds returned 8.72% and high yield municipal bonds returned 9.81% during the fiscal year.5 Performance was particularly strong during the first eight months of 2019, with investment grade municipals returning 7.61% and high yield municipals returning 9.91%.5
The fiscal year was characterized by supportive technical conditions (supply and demand balances) as new issuance of municipal bonds totaled $351 billion — down nearly 15% from the previous fiscal year.6 Flows into the municipal bond asset class were positive for the last 34 weeks of the fiscal year.7 A consistently positive flow pattern, coupled with con-
tinued limited supply, resulted in strong performance across the municipal bond market. Fund flows totaled $52.1 billion from September 2018 through August 2019.7
For the fiscal year, the high yield municipal bond market outperformed the investment grade bond segment, led by improved price discovery on Puerto Rico bonds as a result of developments in the commonwealth’s debt restructuring, as well as strong performance of high yield general obligation securities.
Municipal bonds withstood considerable headwinds during the fiscal year, including interest rate movements that had the 10-year US Treasury yield breaching 2.00% in July 2019.8 Additionally, the US government shutdown, which occurred midway through the fiscal year and lasted 35 days, along with ongoing US-China trade negotiations and Brexit developments, created a challenging market environment. Both investment grade municipals and high yield municipals posted negative returns for the months of September and October 2018. Worsening market conditions exposed the municipal bond market to more sensitivity relating to a sell-off in US Treasuries in September 2018. Despite these challenges, the municipal bond market performed positively for the fiscal year as technical conditions continued to provide tailwinds.
Concerns about future interest rate hikes led to an increased demand for US Treasuries and investment grade municipal bonds alike, and yields continued to fall as high yield securities rallied. The yield curve for 30-year, AAA-rated municipal bonds continued to flatten as trade tensions between the US and China increased worries about inflationary pressures.
During the fiscal year, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds rate two times, in September and December 2018, before lowering it in

July 2019.9 The two rate hikes, the eighth and ninth since December 2008, were anticipated and reflected increased confidence in the US economy amid low unemployment, relatively stable inflation and overall robust economic growth. This expansionary monetary policy significantly flattened the US Treasury yield curve with a slight inversion on the short end occurring in December 2018.
However, the Fed’s dovish stance at the beginning of calendar year 2019 took the market by surprise, leading economists to change their predictions from two interest rate increases in 2019 to just one. Despite favorable growth and labor trends, the Fed ultimately reversed course and lowered the federal funds rate in July 2019, citing uncertainty about the global economic outlook. The US Treasury curve was inverted at fiscal year-end with the yield on the 2-year US Treasury note exceeding the 10-year note.8 Economist views were mixed as to whether this inversion, the first since December 2005, signaled a possible recession.
As anticipated, US midterm election results had a positive impact on municipal securities as perceived threats to municipal tax exemptions, further tax reform and changes to the Affordable Care Act were greatly reduced. News of a possible ban on flavored e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes made headlines, which caused a short-lived decline in the valuations of below investment grade tobacco settlement bonds. Meanwhile, year-end demand for yield and coupon payments caused the asset class to end 2018 on a strong note. Investors affected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which instituted a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, poured a record $18.9 billion into municipal bond funds during the first eight weeks of calendar year 2019, the most recorded over that period in at least 13 years.7
At the close of the fiscal year, we believed municipal fundamentals remained strong and viewed the ongoing impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as a potential market factor. As a result, we believe demand for municipal bond investments could remain strong as retail investors continue to seek tax-exempt income.
Over the fiscal year, security selection in BB and B-rated bonds significantly contributed to the Fund’s performance versus its style-specific benchmark. Security selection in the local general obligation bonds and appropriation-backed municipal bonds also added to the Fund’s relative performance.
Overweight exposure to shorter duration bonds (3.99 years and less) detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark. The Fund’s overweight exposure to and security selection in pre-refunded bonds detracted from relative performance.
During the fiscal year, leverage contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. The Fund achieved a leveraged position through the use of inverse floating rate securities. The Fund uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for shareholders. However, the use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares was 1.36%, 2.11%, 1.11% and 1.07%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns
would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
8 | Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund |
Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide only Pennsylvania investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes and, where possible under local law, local income and personal property taxes, through investment in a varied portfolio of medium- and lower-grade municipal securities.
■ | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of August 31, 2019, and is based on total net assets. |

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Alternative minimum tax risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. |
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk.The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be af- |
| fected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create lever- |
| age risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
■ | Inverse floating rate obligations risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected |

| to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment. |
■ | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
■ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities risk. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity |
| and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value. |
■ | Money market fund risk. Although money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The credit quality of a money market fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund’s share price. A money market fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant market volatility. |
■ | Municipal issuer focus risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. |
■ | Municipal securities risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a |
| decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
■ | Pennsylvania and US territories municipal securities risk. The Fund is more susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting issuers of Pennsylvania municipal securities than a fund that does not focus its investments in such issuers. As with Pennsylvania municipal securities, events in any of the territories where the Fund is invested may affect the Fund’s investments and its performance. |
■ | Variable-rate demand notes risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss. |
■ | When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. |
■ | Zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities risk.The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest. |

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Calculated as a percentage of net assets. Amounts in excess of 100% are due to the Fund’s use of leverage. |
(b) | Underlying security related to TOB Trusts entered into by the Fund. See Note 1K. |
(c) | Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically by the issuer or agent based on current market conditions. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2019. |
(d) | Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed. |
(e) | Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations or other highly rated collateral. |
(f) | Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put. |
(g) | Security is subject to a reimbursement agreement which may require the Fund to pay amounts to a counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market value of the security underlying the TOB Trusts. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $5,095,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security underlying the TOB Trusts. |
(h) | Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2019. |
(i) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2019 was $3,772,783, which represented 2.61% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(j) | Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary. |
(k) | Convertible capital appreciation bond. The interest rate shown represents the coupon rate at which the bond will accrue at a specified future date. |
(l) | Zero coupon bond issued at a discount. |
(m) | Security subject to the alternative minimum tax. |
(n) | Entities may either issue, guarantee, back or otherwise enhance the credit quality of a security. The entities are not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligation but may be called upon to satisfy issuer’s obligations. No concentration of any single entity was greater than 5% each. |
(o) | Floating rate note obligations related to securities held. The interest and fee rates shown reflect the rates in effect at August 31, 2019. At August 31, 2019, the Fund’s investments with a value of $27,647,226 are held by TOB Trusts and serve as collateral for the $15,630,000 in the floating rate note obligations outstanding at that date. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide only Pennsylvania investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes and, where possible under local law, local income and personal property taxes, through investment in a varied portfolio of medium- and lower-grade municipal securities.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a trust may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/ or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among |
23 | Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund |
| the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees — Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any. |
H. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
I. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
J. | Cash and Cash Equivalents – For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
K. | Floating Rate Note Obligations– The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”), for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Fund. Such securities may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning an underlying bond but generally are created through the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Fund to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer or by the Fund (“TOB Trusts”) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the TOB Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The TOB Trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the TOB Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. Inverse floating rate securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. |
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate notes created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such notes for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust holding the fixed rate bonds may be collapsed with the entity that contributed the fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trust. In the case where a TOB Trust is collapsed with the Fund, the Fund will be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities, which may require the Fund to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation. The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause the Fund to lose more money than the value of the asset it has contributed to the TOB Trust and greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the termination of a
24 | Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund |
TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event (“liquidity shortfall”). The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trust.
The Fund accounts for the transfer of fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the captionFloating rate note obligationson the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Fund’s floating rate note obligations as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption Interest and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the TOB Trusts as a component ofInterest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.
Final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB Trusts. A new TOB structure is being utilized by the Fund wherein the Fund, as holder of the residuals, will perform certain duties previously performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may be performed by a third-party service provider. The Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB structure may increase its operational and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered floaters for its own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered floaters. The TOB Trust, not the Fund, would be the borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However, as previously described, the Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further, the SEC and various banking agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Fund has adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There can be no assurances that the new TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further, there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although atypical, these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
L. | Other Risks – The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Fund’s investments in municipal securities.
There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $500 million | 0.50% |
Over $500 million | 0.40% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.50%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee
25 | Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund |
waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will reimburse IDI for distribution related expenses that IDI incurs up to a maximum of the following annual rates: (1) Class A — up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; and (2) Class C — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $22,871 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,371 and $100 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
As of August 31, 2019, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $19,989,623 and securities sales of $7,405,801, which did not result in any net realized gains (losses).
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $512.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which
26 | Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund |
their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances and Borrowings
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the transfer of bonds to TOB Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the year ended August 31, 2019 were $15,243,462 and 2.64%, respectively.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Tax Exempt Income | 5,112,319 | 4,787,674 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $255,693 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 10,431,550 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (38,502) |
Capital loss carryforward | (4,989,304) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 138,616,229 |
Total net assets | $144,275,666 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to TOBs and book to tax accretion and amortization differences.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
Not subject to expiration | $1,134,559 | $3,854,745 | $4,989,304 |
* | Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $19,518,547 and $14,663,921, respectively. Cost of investments,
27 | Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund |
including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $10,566,506 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (134,956) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $10,431,550 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $150,233,214.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of federal income tax credit, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $13,667, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $4 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $13,671. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and of cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,060.60 | $6.39 | $1,019.00 | $6.26 | 1.23% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,056.70 | 10.26 | 1,015.22 | 10.06 | 1.98 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,061.20 | 5.09 | 1,020.27 | 4.99 | 0.98 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,061.60 | 4.78 | 1,020.57 | 4.69 | 0.92 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separatesub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its
commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its perfomance universe for the one year period and the second quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund
31 Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund
performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expense ratio were in the fourth, fourth and fifth quintiles of its expense group, respectively, and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual and contractual management fees and total expenses.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board
noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments,
although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During
the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund invests in stocks in approximately the same proportion as they are represented in the S&P 500 Index.
During the fiscal year, the information technology (IT), consumer staples, real estate, utilities and communication services sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s overall performance. Market sectors delivering negative overall returns for the Fund included energy, financials, health care and materials.
Leading contributors to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year includedMicrosoft,Procter & Gamble,Visaand Mastercard. Microsoft and Mastercard repeatedly delivered strong earnings and increased revenue growth during the fiscal year.
Top detractors from the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year wereApple andAmazon.com. The stocks’ larger weights in the Fund, coupled with negative returns, hurt the Fund’s performance. Other detractors includedNVIDIAand Wells Fargo.

4 | Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund |
Please note that the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity investments, but the Fund also may use derivative instruments, including S&P 500 futures contracts, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in S&P 500 futures contracts, which generated a positive return and were a slight contributor to Fund performance. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Thank you for your investment in Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund.

The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
■ | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of August 31, 2019, and is based on total net assets. |

Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a |
| position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional |
| transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Indexing risk. The Fund is operated as a passively managed index fund and, therefore, the adverse performance of a particular security necessarily will not result in the elimination of the security from the Fund’s portfolio. Ordinarily, the Adviser will not sell the Fund’s portfolio securities except to reflect additions or deletions of the securities that comprise the Index, or as may be necessary to raise cash to pay Fund shareholders who sell Fund shares. As such, the Fund will be negatively affected by declines in the securities represented by the Index. Also, there is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to correlate the Fund’s performance with that of the Index. |
This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.
NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE
8 | Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
23 | Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund |
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Lending– The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the |
24 | Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund |
| borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included inDividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | Collateral—To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $2 billion | 0.12% |
Over $2 billion | 0.10% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.12%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $30,246.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or
25 | Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund |
networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will reimburse IDI for distribution related expenses that IDI incurs up to a maximum of the following annual rates: (1) Class A — up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; and (2) Class C — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $93,003 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $11,650 and $25,452 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Investments in Affiliates
The Fund’s Adviser is a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. and therefore, Invesco Ltd. is considered to be affiliated with the Fund. The following is a summary of the transactions in, and earnings from, investments in Invesco Ltd. for the year ended August 31, 2019.
| Value 08/31/18 | Purchases at Cost | Proceeds from Sales | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Realized Gain (Loss) | Value 08/31/19 | Dividend Income |
Invesco Ltd. | $514,583 | $34,893 | $(12,481) | $(172,269) | $(11,539) | $353,187 | $26,970 |
NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $5,449.
NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $16,005,130 | $13,557,107 |
Long-term capital gain | 11,605,479 | — |
Total distributions | $27,610,609 | $13,557,107 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $12,458,203 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 9,440,402 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 687,738,288 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (79,092) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 677,885,336 |
Total net assets | $1,387,443,137 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 10—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $114,080,306 and $34,009,333, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $719,501,978 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (31,763,690) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $687,738,288 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $698,423,774.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of return of capital, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was increased by $277,528, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $5,389 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $272,139. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,058.60 | $2.85 | $1,022.43 | $2.80 | 0.55% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,054.50 | 6.78 | 1,018.60 | 6.67 | 1.31 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,059.90 | 1.61 | 1,023.64 | 1.58 | 0.31 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,059.90 | 1.35 | 1,023.89 | 1.33 | 0.26 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisoryand Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees
are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to
commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund is passively managed and discussed reasons for differences in the Fund’s performance versus its peers and the Index. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
32 Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was in the fourth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative total expenses.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board
considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with
other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

2 | Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund |
Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
The broad municipal bond market experienced positive returns for the fifth consecutive year in 2018, and performance remained strong throughout this fiscal year. Investment grade municipal bonds returned 8.72% and high yield municipal bonds returned 9.81% during the fiscal year.1 Performance was particularly strong during the first eight months of 2019, with investment grade municipals returning 7.61% and high yield municipals returning 9.91%.1
The fiscal year was characterized by supportive technical conditions (supply and demand balances) as new issuance of municipal bonds totaled $351 billion — down nearly 15% from the previous fiscal year.2 Flows into the municipal bond asset class were positive for the last 34 weeks of the fiscal year.3 A consistently positive flow pattern, coupled with continued limited supply, resulted in strong performance across the municipal bond market. Fund flows totaled $52.1 billion from September 2018 through August 2019.3
For the fiscal year, the high yield municipal bond market outperformed the investment grade bond segment, led by improved price discovery on Puerto Rico bonds as a result of developments in the commonwealth’s debt restructuring, as well as strong performance of high yield general obligation securities.
Municipal bonds withstood considerable headwinds during the fiscal year, including interest rate movements that had the 10-year US Treasury yield breaching 2.00% in July 2019.4 Additionally, the US government shutdown, which occurred midway through the fiscal year and lasted 35 days, along with ongoing US-China trade negotiations and Brexit developments, created a challenging market environment. Both investment grade municipals and high yield municipals posted negative returns for the months of September and October 2018. Worsening market conditions exposed the municipal bond market to more sensitivity relating to a sell-off in US Treasuries in September 2018. Despite these challenges, the municipal
bond market performed positively for the fiscal year as technical conditions continued to provide tailwinds.
Concerns about future interest rate hikes led to an increased demand for US Treasuries and investment grade municipal bonds alike, and yields continued to fall as high yield securities rallied. The yield curve for 30-year, AAA-rated municipal bonds continued to flatten as trade tensions between the US and China increased worries about inflationary pressures.
During the fiscal year, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds rate two times in September and December 2018, before lowering it in July 2019.5 The two rate hikes, the eighth and ninth since December 2008, were anticipated and reflected increased confidence in the US economy amid low unemployment, relatively stable inflation and overall robust economic growth. This expansionary monetary policy significantly flattened the US Treasury yield curve with a slight inversion on the short end occurring in December 2018.
However, the Fed’s dovish stance at the beginning of calendar year 2019 took the market by surprise, leading economists to change their predictions from two interest rate increases in 2019 to just one. Despite favorable growth and labor trends, the Fed ultimately reversed course and lowered the federal funds rate in July 2019, citing uncertainty about the global economic outlook. The US Treasury curve was inverted at fiscal year-end with the yield on the 2-year US Treasury note exceeding the 10-year note.4 Economist views were mixed as to whether this inversion, the first since December 2005, signaled a possible recession.
As anticipated, US midterm election results had a positive impact on municipal securities as perceived threats to municipal tax exemptions, further tax reform and changes to the Affordable Care

Act were greatly reduced. News of a possible ban on flavored e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes made headlines, which caused a short-lived decline in the valuations of below investment grade tobacco settlement bonds. Meanwhile, year-end demand for yield and coupon payments caused the asset class to end 2018 on a strong note. Investors affected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts of 2017, which instituted a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, poured a record $18.9 billion into municipal bond funds in the first eight weeks of calendar year 2019, the most recorded over that period in at least 13 years.3
At the close of the fiscal year, we believed municipal fundamentals remained strong and viewed the ongoing impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as a potential market factor. As a result, we believe demand for municipal bond investments could remain strong as retail investors continue to seek tax-exempt income.
During the fiscal year, security selection in state and local general obligation bonds, as well as the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sector aided the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. Security selection in higher coupon bonds (5.00%+) also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. At the state level, holdings in Vermont and Illinois also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. Security selection in higher education and life care bonds detracted from the Fund’s relative performance over the fiscal year. On a state level, holdings in Oklahoma detracted from the Fund’s relative return.
During the fiscal year, leverage contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. The Fund achieved a leveraged position through the use of inverse floating rate securities. The Fund uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for shareholders. However, the use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market
forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund’s investment objective is to seek federal tax-exempt current income and taxable capital appreciation.
■ | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of August 31, 2019, and is based on total net assets. |

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Alternative minimum tax risk. All or a portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. |
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk.The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Debt securities risk.The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the deriva- |
| tive contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk.Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
■ | Inverse floating rate obligations risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected |

| to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment. |
■ | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
■ | Management risk.The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk.The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities risk. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity |
| and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value. |
■ | Money market fund risk.Although money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The credit quality of a money market fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund’s share price. A money market fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant market volatility. |
■ | Municipal issuer focus risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. |
■ | Municipal securities risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a |
| decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
■ | Variable-rate demand notes risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss. |
■ | When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. |
■ | Zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek federal tax-exempt current income and taxable capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
As of the opening of business on September 6, 2019, the Fund has limited public sales of its shares to certain investors.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
29 | Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees — Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any. |
H. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
I. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

J. | Floating Rate Note Obligations– The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”), for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Fund. Such securities may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning an underlying bond but generally are created through the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Fund to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer or by the Fund (“TOB Trusts”) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the TOB Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The TOB Trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the TOB Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. Inverse floating rate securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. |
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate notes created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such notes for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust holding the fixed rate bonds may be collapsed with the entity that contributed the fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trust. In the case where a TOB Trust is collapsed with the Fund, the Fund will be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities, which may require the Fund to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation. The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause the Fund to lose more money than the value of the asset it has contributed to the TOB Trust and greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the termination of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event (“liquidity shortfall”). The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trust.
The Fund accounts for the transfer of fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the captionFloating rate note obligationson the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Fund’s floating rate note obligations as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption Interest and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the TOB Trusts as a component ofInterest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.
Final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB Trusts. A new TOB structure is being utilized by the Fund wherein the Fund, as holder of the residuals, will perform certain duties previously performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may be performed by a third-party service provider. The Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB structure may increase its operational and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered floaters for its own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered floaters. The TOB Trust, not the Fund, would be the borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However, as previously described, the Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further, the SEC and various banking agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Fund has adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There can be no assurances that the new TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further, there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although atypical, these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as |
31 | Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund |
| unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Other Risks — The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Fund’s investments in municipal securities.
There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may vary more widely and the Fund may be subject to greater market and credit risk than if the Fund invested more broadly.
M. | Collateral—To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $300 million | 0.50% |
Next $300 million | 0.46% |
Over $600 million | 0.42% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.49%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2019, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.79%, 1.54%, 0.54%, 0.54% and 0.54%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on December 31, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $140,409 and reimbursed class level expenses of $137,007, $43,212, $134,799, $3 and $3,573 of Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of
32 | Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund |
the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $55,982 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $19,457 and $4,114 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $111,617,101 and securities sales of $93,949,701, which did not result in any net realized gains (losses).
NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $271.
NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 8—Cash Balances and Borrowings
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank
34 | Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund |
for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the transfer of bonds to TOB Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the year ended August 31, 2019 were $12,501,538 and 1.90%, respectively.
NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $12,315,505 | $6,341,162 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $721,445 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 20,566,644 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (8,537) |
Capital loss carryforward | (2,877,979) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 458,808,455 |
Total net assets | $477,210,028 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, defaulted bonds, TOBs and amortization differences.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
Not subject to expiration | $2,078,042 | $799,937 | $2,877,979 |
* | Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 10—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $274,332,445 and $91,005,159, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $24,206,228 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (3,639,584) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $20,566,644 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $466,148,172.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of federal income taxes and bond discount, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income was increased by $55,916, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $67,064 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $11,148. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,054.20 | $4.56 | $1,020.77 | $4.48 | 0.88% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,050.30 | 8.42 | 1,016.99 | 8.29 | 1.63 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,055.40 | 3.26 | 1,022.03 | 3.21 | 0.63 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,056.40 | 3.27 | 1,022.03 | 3.21 | 0.63 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,055.30 | 3.26 | 1,022.03 | 3.21 | 0.63 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the Company) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and separatesub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its
commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund incepted on September 30, 2015 and compared the Fund’s investment performance for the past three years ended December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent
39 Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory
and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory
fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

2 | Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund |
Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off through year-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other
countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp sell-off during the fourth quarter of 2018, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potential US-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed, and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since 1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the market sold off in May 2019, along with bond yields and oil prices, as investors
weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July 2019 meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August 2019, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into perceived “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modestly positive return for the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, the Fund produced a negative return but outperformed its style-specific benchmark. Relative outperformance was led by positive stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary and health care sectors. Stock selection in and an overweight allocation to the information technology (IT) sector also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. In addition, the Fund’s ancillary cash position helped buoy results in periods of heightened stock market volatility during the fiscal year. Conversely, stock selection in and overweight exposure to the energy sector, as well as stock selection in the communication services sector, detracted from relative returns. Finally, the Fund’s underweight position in the real estate sector, and not having exposure to the utilities sector, were relative detractors from the Fund’s performance.

During the fiscal year,Lattice Semiconductor was the leading contributor to performance on an absolute basis. The IT company is based in Hillsboro, Oregon and manufactures high-performance programmable logic devices. The company underwent management changes that were well-regarded and its new management team has instituted a number of initiatives to expand its profitability, including exiting less important segments, price optimization and cost reductions.
Within the IT sector,Universal Display was the leading contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year. Universal Display develops and manufactures organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) technologies and materials. The company benefited as smartphones began upgrading from liquid crystal display screens to OLED screens. Universal Display also rallied behind optimism surrounding foldable OLED cellphones, and expanded its customer list for its core materials and intellectual property in OLED.
Within the consumer discretionary sector,Planet Fitnesswas the leading absolute contributor to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year. The New Hampshire-based fitness company surpassed revenue and earnings estimates due to strong franchise and membership growth. The company’s equipment segment also benefited from its franchise growth as new locations were opened. Same-store sales also increased over the fiscal year as its high profit, low-cost business model provided stability during periods of market volatility.
Although the health care sector was an overall contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year,Inogen was the leading individual detractor on an absolute basis. Inogen sells portable oxygen machines to consumers and medical distributors. The company’s product is considered best-in-class compared to competing oxygenators. Inogen sold off after it consecutively reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results and company management suggested slower growth for future earnings. We sold our position in the stock before the close of the fiscal year.
During the fiscal year, the leading individual detractor from the Fund’s performance versus the style-specific benchmark was energy sector constituent,Centennial Resource Development. The Denver-based independent oil producer has assets in the core of the Delaware Basin, which is a sub-basin of the Perm-
ian Basin in West Texas. The stock struggled as a result of a lower growth outlook and a significant deviation in its oil development plan due to oil price volatility. We sold our position in Centennial Resource Development during the fiscal year.
The IT sector was an overall contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year. However, educational technology company2U was the leading relative detractor from the Fund’s performance. 2U partners with colleges and universities to offer online degree programs. The company has struggled for several reasons, including higher student selectivity among its partner schools, lower application submissions and a delay in the rollout of a major MBA program launch.
We wish to remind you that all positioning changes are based on a bottom-up stock selection process. Our portfolio construction is designed to manage risk and ensure alignment with small-cap market sector exposure within modest over- and underweights. At the close of the fiscal year, the Fund’s underweight exposures relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index were to the health care, real estate, industrials, utilities, consumer staples and materials sectors. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight exposures relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index were to the IT, consumer discretionary, financials, energy and communication services sectors.
At the close of the fiscal year, our view was that the growth environment is slowing as the benefits of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and deregulations were offset by rising labor costs and trade pressures. In such an environment, true growth will likely remain scarce, and we believe the market will favor companies that can produce sustainable, above-average earnings and cash flow growth in spite of the economic cycle. Stocks may remain volatile and we caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance.
On June 21, 2019, Juan Hartsfield replaced Matthew Hart as lead manager of Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund and Clay Manley became co-manager along with existing co-manager Justin Sander.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.37%, 2.08%, 1.12%, 0.98% and 0.89%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the
applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Foreign securities risk.The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | Growth investing risk.Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to the issuing company’s earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result, they tend to be |
| more sensitive to changes in, or investors’ expectations of, the issuing company’s earnings and can be more volatile. |
■ | Initial public offerings (IPO) risk.The prices of IPO securities often fluctuate more than prices of securities of companies with longer trading histories and sometimes experience significant price drops shortly after their initial issuance. In addition, companies offering securities in IPOs may have less experienced management or limited operating histories. |
■ | Management risk.The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk.The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Sector focus risk.The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and |
| there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
■ | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks.Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

Other information
■ | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
17 | Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions– Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the |
18 | Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund |
| borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included inDividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $500 million | 0.80% |
Next $500 million | 0.75% |
Over $1 billion | 0.70% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.79%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $21,591.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations asDistribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $67,785 in front-end
19 | Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund |
sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,126 and $2,492 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund incurred $11,605 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
As of August 31, 2019, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $0 and securities sales of $2,432,922, which resulted in net realized gains of $138,067.
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $4,933.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund.Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, andTrustees’ andOfficers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.Trustees’ andOfficers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $702,413 | $— |
Long-term capital gain | 84,107,769 | 81,953,272 |
Total distributions | $84,810,182 | $81,953,272 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | $75,942,130 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | 113,026,997 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (112,785) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferral | (2,566,278) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 359,465,038 |
Total net assets | $545,755,102 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $423,804,577 and $537,008,637, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $137,033,007 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (24,006,010) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $113,026,997 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $434,426,522.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $4,764,496, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $2 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $4,764,494. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees
are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to
commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no AffiliatedSub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the LipperSmall-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s overweight exposure to the health care sector and underweight exposure to certain defensive sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
25 Invesco Small Cap Discovery Fund
C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised orsub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements.
The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:
This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.
Throughout the reporting period, global equity markets remained volatile. Investor sentiment ranged from elation to fear. The reporting period began with several US equity indexes redefining new highs. The exuberance, however, ended in October 2018 as global equities, in particular US stocks, sold off, with the sharpest decline in December. The catalyst for the sell-off was a combination of ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut. Gains posted earlier in 2018 for global equities were erased, while US Treasury bonds, along with government and municipal bonds, rallied as investors fled to “safe haven” assets.
At the start of 2019, global equity markets rebounded strongly buoyed by more dovish central banks and optimism about a potential US-China trade deal. In May, US-China trade concerns and slowing global growth led to a global equity sell-off and rally in U.S. Treasuries. Despite the May sell-off, domestic equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate cut and closed the second quarter with modest gains. As the reporting period ended in August, market volatility once again increased as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times magnifying concerns that the US economy could be headed into a recession.
During the reporting period, the Fed both raised and lowered the federal funds rate. Given signs of a strong economy, the Fed raised rates two times: in September and December 2018. In 2019, however, the Fed altered its outlook on further rate hikes leaving rates unchanged for the first half of the year. In July, the Fed lowered interest rates for the first time in 11 years. As 2019 unfolds, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:
Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:
■ | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
■ | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
■ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
■ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year began with a steady flow of positive US economic data that began to show signs of slowing by the end of 2018 and into 2019. The US economy continued to add jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to a low of 3.6% in May 2019, but increased slightly to end the fiscal year at 3.7%.1 Against this backdrop, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) began the fiscal year raising the federal funds target rate from a range of 1.75% to 2.00% to a range of 2.25% to 2.50% through implementing two interest rate hikes in September 2018 and December 2018.2 This tightening monetary policy, coupled with concerns over trade policies, geopolitical tensions and global economic growth, caused markets to recede and prompted the Fed to decrease its target rate in July 2019 to a range of 2.00% to 2.25%.2
The 10-year US Treasury yield began the fiscal year at 2.86% and slowly increased to a high of 3.23% in October 2018 due to continued strength of inflation and the high probability of additional Fed rate hikes throughout the remainder of 2018.3 While economic data at the beginning of the fiscal year was positive, the slowdown experienced at the end of 2018 dramatically changed the outlook for 2019 and the 10-year US Treasury yield declined steadily throughout the remainder of the fiscal year to end at 1.50%, 136 basis points lower than at the beginning of the fiscal year.3 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percent-age point.) Inflation also declined during this period with the Consumer Price Index ending the fiscal year at 1.7% annual growth, down 1.0% from its peak in August 2018 as energy prices subsided.1
In this environment, US Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) posted
positive returns, which were driven by lower real rates. TIPS underperformed their nominal US Treasury counterparts on a maturity-matched basis as yields on nominal US Treasuries decreased more than real yields for TIPS during the fiscal year. The difference between yields on a maturity-matched basis and nominal yields on US Treasuries and TIPS is a measure of inflation expectations, also known as breakeven inflation (the amount of inflation needed for TIPS to break even with nominal US Treasuries). During the fiscal year, inflation expectations decreased as nominal rates decreased more than real rates, thus breakeven inflation decreased.
The high yield market ended the fiscal year up 6.56%.4 Overall, credit fundamentals remained resilient but earnings reports started to show signs of slowing at the end of the fiscal year.
The senior loan market started the fiscal year with solid returns, but as investors modified their interest rate expectations return volatility increased. After an initial slump at the beginning of the fiscal year, the asset class saw positive returns toward the end of the fiscal year.
The Fund employs a diversified investment approach in an attempt to manage inflation risk. The Fund invests in bank loans (through investment in an affiliated underlying fund) and high yield securities, in addition to TIPS. Historically, these three asset classes have performed well in inflationary environments, while offering competitive yields. In addition to the three primary asset classes, the investment team may make opportunistic investments in other asset classes that it believes have favorable prospects for current income in inflationary environments.
The Fund generated positive returns for the fiscal year but underperformed its style-specific benchmark, the Custom Invesco Strategic Real Return Index. While the Fund’s underweight allocation

to high yield securities was a contributor to the Fund’s relative performance, security selection within high yield securities detracted from relative returns.
The Fund remains largely invested in bank loans (indirectly through an affiliated underlying fund as discussed above), high yield bonds and TIPS with opportunistic allocations to convertible securities. The Fund’s allocation to convertible securities contributed to Fund performance for the fiscal year.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities.
The Fund’s exposure to bank loans (through its investment in an affiliated underlying fund) includes senior secured loans, which are an asset class that behaves differently from many traditional fixed income investments. The interest income generated by a portfolio of senior secured loans is usually determined by a fixed credit spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). Because senior secured loans generally have a very short duration and the coupons or interest rates are usually adjusted every 30 to 90 days as Libor changes, the yield on the portfolio adjusts. Interest rate risk refers to the tendency for traditional fixed income prices to decline when interest rates rise. For senior secured loans, however, interest rates and income are variable and the prices of loans are, therefore, less sensitive to interest rate changes than traditional fixed income bonds — and senior secured loans can provide a natural hedge against rising interest rates.
We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain central banks. If interest rates decrease further, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments or the market price of the Fund’s shares.
During the fiscal year, the Fund achieved returns from diversified inflation-sensitive securities. This remains a key goal of the Fund.
Thank you for your investment in Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The Fund has elected to use the ICE BofAML US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index as its broad market benchmark rather than the ICE BofAML Current 10-Year US Treasury Index because the ICE BofAML US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which
the Fund invests. Because this is the first reporting period since we have adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare performance to both the old and new indexes.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 2.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
■ | Asset-backed securities risk. Asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans, which could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that a rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. |
■ | Bank loan risk. There are a number of risks associated with an investment in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. For the Fund, these risks related to bank loans are associated with the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s |
| ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding bank loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns. The value of bank loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. Bank loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. |
■ | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder |
| redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
■ | Collateralized loan obligations risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorbs losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. |
■ | Convertible securities risk. The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade. |
■ | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling |

| interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
■ | Defaulted securities risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. |
■ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its deriva- |
| tive positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
■ | Exchange-traded funds risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility. |
■ | Financial services sector risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation and are disproportionately affected by unstable interest rates, each of which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services companies may also have concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to unstable economic conditions. |
■ | Foreign securities risk. An underlying fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which an underlying fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless an underlying fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which an underlying fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
■ | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
■ | Indexing risk. Certain portions of the Fund’s assets are managed pursuant to an indexing approach (Indexed Assets) and, therefore, the adverse performance of a particular security necessarily will not result in the elimination of the security from the Indexed Assets. Ordinarily, the Fund will not sell portfolio securities of the Indexed Assets except to reflect additions or deletions of the securities that comprise the index the Fund seeks to track with respect to the Indexed Assets (Underlying Index), or as may be necessary to raise cash to pay Fund shareholders who sell Fund shares. As such, the Indexed Assets, and therefore the Fund, will be negatively affected by declines in the securities represented by the Underlying Index. Also, there is no guarantee that |
9 | Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund |
| the Fund will be able to correlate the performance of the Indexed Assets with that of the Underlying Index. |
■ | Inflation-indexed securities risk. The values of inflation-indexed securities generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates, and the Fund’s income from its investments in these securities is likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of its investments in more traditional fixed-income securities. |
■ | Inflation-indexed securities tax risk. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed security may be included for tax purposes in the Fund’s gross income, even though no cash attributable to such gross income has been received by the Fund. In such event, the Fund may be required to make annual distributions to shareholders that exceed the cash it has otherwise received. In order to pay such distributions, the Fund may be required to raise cash by selling portfolio investments. The sale of such investments could result in capital gains to the Fund and additional capital gain distributions to shareholders. In addition, adjustments during the taxable year for deflation to an inflation-indexed bond held by the Fund may cause amounts previously distributed to shareholders in the taxable year as income to be characterized as a return of capital. |
■ | Investment companies risk. Investing in other investment companies could result in the duplication of certain fees, including management and administrative fees, and may expose the Fund to the risks of owning the underlying investments that the other investment company holds. |
■ | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
■ | Management risk. Certain portions of the Fund’s assets are actively managed and depend heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments |
| made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Because the Fund’s investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
■ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
■ | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
■ | Reverse repurchase agreement risk. If the market value of securities to be repurchased declines below the repurchase price, or the other party defaults on its obligation, the Fund may be delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage, which will make the Fund’s returns more volatile and |
| increase the risk of loss. Additionally, interest expenses related to reverse repurchase agreements could exceed the rate of return on other investments held by the Fund, thereby reducing returns to shareholders. |
■ | Risk of subordinated debt. Perpetual subordinated debt is a type of hybrid instrument that has no maturity date for the return of principal and does not need to be redeemed by the issuer. These investments typically have lower credit ratings and lower priority than other obligations of an issuer during bankruptcy, presenting a greater risk for nonpayment. This risk increases as the priority of the obligation becomes lower. Payments on these securities may be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of subsidiaries and associated companies of an issuer. Additionally, some perpetual subordinated debt does not restrict the ability of an issuer’s subsidiaries to incur further unsecured indebtedness. |
■ | Sampling risk. The use by the TIPS Portfolio of a representative sampling approach will result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying Index and in the TIPS Portfolio holding securities not included in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held by the TIPS Portfolio could result in a greater decline in the Fund’s NAV than would be the case if all of the securities in the Underlying Index were held. The use by the TIPS Portfolio of a representative sampling approach may also include the risk that it may not track the return of the Underlying Index as well as it would have if the TIPS Portfolio held all of the securities in the Underlying Index. |
■ | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short |
10 | Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund |
| positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
■ | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
■ | When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to mitigate the effects of unanticipated inflation and to provide current income.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the "Conversion Feature"). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value ("NAV") per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates
24 | Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund |
depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $1 billion | 0.40% |
Next $2.5 billion | 0.35% |
Over $3.5 billion | 0.33% |
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.40%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2019 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (including prior fiscal year-ended Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.21% and excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.82%, 1.57%, 1.07%, 0.57%, 0.57% and 0.57%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the "expense limits"). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Fund directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees, of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement may exceed the expense limits above. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on December 31, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $176,811, reimbursed fund level expenses of $79,177 and reimbursed class level expenses of $24,041, $1,619, $375, $19,463, $10 and $414 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asAdministrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations asTransfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $3,482 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,858 and $895 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Investments in Affiliates
The Fund’s Adviser and the adviser for Invesco Floating Rate Fund are subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. and therefore, Invesco Floating Rate Fund is considered to be affiliated with the Fund. The following is a summary of the transactions in, and earnings from, investments in Invesco Floating Rate Fund (excluding affiliated money market funds) for the year ended August 31, 2019.
| Value 08/31/18 | Purchases at Cost | Proceeds from Sales | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Realized Gain (Loss) | Value 08/31/19 | Dividend Income |
Invesco Floating Rate Fund - Class R6 | $12,517,778 | $4,248,130 | $(3,250,445) | $(115,127) | $(240,114) | $13,160,222 | $693,448 |
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $229.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, andTrustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable captionAmount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Ordinary income | $1,873,847 | $1,315,497 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End: |
| 2019 |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | $299,247 |
Temporary book/tax differences | (7,150) |
Capital loss carryforward | (671,349) |
Shares of beneficial interest | 44,108,318 |
Total net assets | $43,729,066 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and bond premium amortization.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2019, as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
Not subject to expiration | $151,355 | $519,994 | $671,349 |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2019 was $7,741,177 and $6,469,050, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $7,225,806 and $7,640,268, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $972,012 |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (672,765) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $299,247 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $43,260,423.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of bond premium amortization, on August 31, 2019, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $121,882, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $114,080 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $7,802. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value (03/01/19) | ACTUAL | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Ending Account Value (08/31/19)1 | Expenses Paid During Period2 | Ending Account Value (08/31/19) | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,049.00 | $3.10 | $1,022.18 | $3.06 | 0.60% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,045.10 | 6.96 | 1,018.40 | 6.87 | 1.35 |
Class R | 1,000.00 | 1,047.70 | 4.39 | 1,020.92 | 4.33 | 0.85 |
Class Y | 1,000.00 | 1,050.30 | 1.81 | 1,023.44 | 1.79 | 0.35 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,050.30 | 1.81 | 1,023.44 | 1.79 | 0.35 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,050.30 | 1.81 | 1,023.44 | 1.79 | 0.35 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Strategic Real Return Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and separatesub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established threeSub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). As part of a regularly scheduled basis ofin-person Board meetings, theSub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee andSub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to
such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund was new and compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Inflation Protected Bond Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the first quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

C. | Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certainnon-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to,sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other thanday-to-day portfolio management.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any
securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Fund Performance Discussion
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, Class A shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), at net asset value (NAV), underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the Fund’s benchmark.
On June 21, 2019, Erik Voss and Ido Cohen became the Lead Portfolio Manager andCo-Portfolio Manager, respectively, of the Fund.
MARKET CONDITIONS AND YOUR FUND
The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility noticeably rose in October 2018, as US equity markets suffered a sharpsell-off throughyear-end 2018, amid ongoing trade concerns between the US and China, fears of a global economic slowdown and lower oil prices from a supply glut, with oil prices plummeting from near $75 per barrel in early October 2018 to
around $45 per barrel in late December 2018.1 In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the markets, such as health care, utilities and US Treasuries.
Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates two times during the fiscal year: in September and December 2018. In contrast, the

European Central Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.
Following a sharp selloff during the fourth quarter of 2019, equity markets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019, fueled by optimism about a potentialUS-China trade deal and the Fed’s indication that there would be no interest rate hikes in 2019, a surprising shift in monetary policy. The Fed’s more accommodative stance provided a supportive environment for equities and fixed income, even as US economic data were mixed and overseas growth appeared to be slowing. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index posted its best first quarter returns since
1998.
Although the S&P 500 Index posted modest gains for the second quarter of 2019, the US stock market experienced increased volatility. After four consecutive months of rising stock markets, the marketsold-off in May, along with bond yields and oil prices, as investors weighed the impact of the lingering trade war between the US and China, as well as potential tariffs imposed on Mexico. In addition, economic data showed a slowing domestic and global economy. During the July meeting, the Fed lowered rates by 25 basis points. This was the first time the Fed lowered rates in more than a decade.2
Market volatility increased in August, as the US Treasury yield curve inverted several times, causing jitters for investors who were
concerned that a US recession would be imminent. As a result, much of August saw a “risk off” sentiment, with investors crowding into “safe haven” asset classes, such as US Treasuries and gold. However, a more dovish tone from the Fed provided some support to risk assets. With rising volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 Index posted a modest positive return for the fiscal year.
In this environment, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV produced a small gain but underperformed the benchmark during the fiscal year. Stock selection and underweight exposure in the consumer staples sector, an overweight in the energy sector, stock selection in the materials sector and a lack of holdings in the real estate sector were key detractors from relative performance. Positively, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors.
At the stock level, Apple detracted from absolute returns during the fiscal year as annual iPhone sales fell short of expectations and recent production data suggested a worse-than-feared cutback in orders.
An overweight in eCommerce leader Amazon was both an absolute and benchmark-relative detractor. Amazon came under pressure following 3rd quarter 2018 results and suffered from the general rotation out of growth stocks and towards defensive areas of the market in the final quarter of 2018. The stock recovered until June 2019, when the U.S. Department of Justice announced

an anti-trust review of “market-leading online platforms”. We believed there was extremely low risk of abreak-up or a major alteration of the business model of any of the large technology companies over the near term. Accordingly, we viewed the downward market moves as an over-reaction. Further, we believe Amazon is well positioned to benefit from increased penetration in food and consumables within eCommerce.
Finally, an overweight exposure in the energy sector, includingout-of-benchmark exposure to Husky Energy, detracted from both absolute and relative performance. The Fund had been overweight energy based on a view that global crude oil inventories had normalized. Oil supply surprised to the upside given a surprise reduction in sanctions on Iran and oil prices plummeted in December 2018. Due to elevated oil inventories, excess spare capacity and risks to global demand growth, the overweight position in energy was reduced. We have since exited this position.
Within information technology, an overweight in Microsoft was beneficial to both absolute and benchmark-relative returns during the fiscal year. Microsoft reported a record fiscal year in July 2019, noting increases in sales and profits. Microsoft benefitted from continued hypergrowth in its Azure cloud computing service and double-digit growth within its core server tools. Strong performance within the software industry generally also helped to drive the stock’s performance during the fiscal year.
An overweight in Mastercard, the leading global payments and technology company, was also beneficial to absolute and benchmark-relative returns. Mastercard has experienced growth in core products during the fiscal year. Additionally, recent acquisitions such as Transfast and new partnerships such as P27 in the Nordics (not fund holdings) may help the company evolve it is real-timeaccount-to-account and cross-border payments.
Within consumer staples, an overweight in Starbucks was also beneficial to absolute and relative performance, particularly during the volatility that spiked among equity markets during the fourth quarter of 2018. We have since exited this position.
Our view is that we are in a slowing growth environment as the benefits of US tax stimulus and deregulation are being offset by rising labor costs and trade pressures. In such an environment, true growth will likely remain scarce, and we believe the market will favor companies that can produce growth and compound earnings in spite of the economic cycle. We believe that change is the fuel for growth, thus we are seeking to identify “share-takers”, companies that we think can gain market share from technology-enabled advantages in their business models and from disruptive shifts in consumer behavior. Though we anticipate a possible economic slowing, we seek to prudently balance the Fund between dynamic growth opportunities and more durable growth opportunities.

Fund Expenses
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire6-month period ended August 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended August 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such asfront-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAugust 31, 2019
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as anopen-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or each class.
Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Fund operated as Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Acquired Fund” or “Predecessor Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class R, and Class Y shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class R6 shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class R6 shares throughout this report. Class R5 shares commenced operations on the Reorganization Date.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with afront-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations– Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in theover-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of
30 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments inopen-end andclosed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at theend-of-day net asset value per share. Investments inopen-end andclosed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such asinstitution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
31 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on theex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment transactions reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
32 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions - Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are recorded on theex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Adviser. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements. |
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

F. | Expenses - Fees provided for under the Rule12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets.Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates - The financial statements are prepared on a basis in conformity |
34 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
| with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after theperiod-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations - Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations. |
J. | Master Limited Partnerships - The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and |
35 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
| natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
| MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities. |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule* | | | |
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |

36 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) ofClass A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.05%, 1.80%, 1.30%, 0.80%, 0.68% and 0.63%,respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses on short sales; (4) extraordinary ornon-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.

Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be
38 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 4 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures for the period September 1, 2018 to May 24, 2019,the Predecessor Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed: Securities purchases of $28,427,347 and securities sales of $3,373,692, which resulted in net realized gainsof $1,276,681.

Note 5 – Expense Offset Arrangements
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For theyearended August 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $32,649.
Note 6 – Trustee and Officer Fees and Benefits
The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan.
During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | — | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 31,173 | |
Accumulated Liability as of August 31, 2019 | | | 547,892 | |
Certain trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of Trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 7 – Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with
40 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
JPMorgan Chase Bank, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any atperiod-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
Note 8 – Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the yearended August 31, 2019 was $2,688,864,713 and $4,016,412,883, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations and the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the year ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to August 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 25, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
44 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATIONUnaudited
In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.
Capital gain distributions of $4.20068 per share were paid to Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shareholders, respectively, on December 13, 2018. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $38,209,548 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2019, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $0 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend and the maximum amount allowable but not less than $915,145 of the short-term capital gain distribution to be paid by the Fund qualifies as a short-term capital gain dividend.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

The Board noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks. At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements andsub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.

The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for thesub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTSUnaudited / Continued
in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. Fund Investment Performance
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub- Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Morningstar expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub- Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
48 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub- Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’
49 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTSUnaudited / Continued
expenses. The Board also considered that it will receive periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit invesco.com for the most recentmonth-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions and a 5.50% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. As the result of a reorganization after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from those of the predecessor fund because they have different expenses. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Fund Performance Discussion
The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a total return of 3.64% during the one-year reporting period, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index’s (the “Index”) return of-11.02%. The Fund’s outperformance versus the Index was largely the result of very favorable stock selection in the Information Technology, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. The Fund marginally underperformed the Index in the Real Estate and Utilities sectors, due to an underweight allocation to these areas.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The reporting period encompassed a difficult environment forsmall-cap equities in general, as the major U.S. small cap indices have significantly lagged the large andmid-cap portions of the U.S. equity market over the last fiscal period. The last quarter of 2018, in particular, saw a significantsell-off in small-caps, and even after a rally to begin 2019,small-cap markets have still not regained their high-water mark that occurred in September of 2018. After years of relatively
smooth upward equity moves, volatility has made a comeback. This has been due to a combination of the U.S. Administration’s trade wars, a rise in geopolitical tensions, and the prospect of rising interest rates interrupting the upward march of the equity markets. Uncertainty has hurt equities in general, butsmall-cap equities in particular, due to the“risk-off” behavior of investors searching for more stability. In general, the market has traded sideways to close the reporting period

as investors try to balance fear and greed in the face of conflicting economic data and heated political rhetoric from leaders across the world.
FUND REVIEW
Top performing stocks for the Fund this reporting period included Roku, Inc., Coupa Software, Inc. and Trade Desk, Inc.
Roku is one of the leading platforms for streaming TV in the U.S. The company has posted strong results as consumers continue to cut the cord and plug into Roku, demonstrating both the secular shift towardsover-the-top video consumption and management’s adept ability to exploit the trend.
Coupa Software is a software company that enables businesses to manage their spending in a more centralized, efficient manner. Theirsoftware-as-a-service cloud delivery model is superior to that of legacy players in the space, and they are rapidly growing their market share while also continuing penetration with existing customers.
Trade Desk is a technology company that empowers buyers of digital advertising. The company comfortably beat 4Q18 street consensus and guided to higher than expected revenue for fiscal year 2019.
Detractors from the Fund’s performance this reporting period included Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Inogen, Inc. and
SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc.
Ligand Pharmaceuticals is a biopharma company that operates a lean business model licensing its intellectual property to numerous partners in return for milestones and royalties. The stock underperformed during the period due to a critical research report that questioned the long-term value of Ligand’s portfolio of future milestone payments. We have exited this position.
Inogen, Inc. is a leader in the portable oxygen concentrator segment of the $3 billion domestic home oxygen therapy market. They reported strong revenue growth but accelerated hiring of new salespeople, which has hurt profitability. We exited our position during the reporting period.
SiteOne Landscape Supply distributes commercial and residential landscape supplies. Its shares experienced volatility related to weak performance among housing related securities. We have exited our position.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
Our long-term investment process remains the same. We seek dynamic companies with above-average, sustainable revenue and earnings growth that we believe are positioned to outperform. This includes leading firms in structurally attractive industries with committed management teams that have proven records of performance.
6 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
Looking forward, we expect the growth rate of the U.S. economy to moderate from roughly 3% in 2018 to around 2% this year while remaining stronger than many other economies around the world. Prior interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, waning benefit from fiscal stimulus, weaker overseas economies and trade war fallout are the primary reasons for this slowdown. Moderating economic growth and rising cost pressure will combine to materially slow the pace of earnings growth in 2019. Meanwhile, market volatility has increased from unusually low levels, partly due to political and policy turmoil in Washington D.C.
While the recent sharp advance in equity prices may be followed by short-term consolidation, we are optimistic about the prospects for small andmid-cap growth stocks. Although equity valuations have rebounded, our holdings growth trajectory remains superior to the current corporate profit environment, with strong EPS growth for the companies in the Discovery Fund during the reporting period. We believe that companies with strong secular growth profiles will outperform those in cyclical industries over the intermediate future.

1 Class R5 shares’ performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) and includes the12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares’ performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
2 Shows performance since inception.
Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit invesco.com for the most recentmonth-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Performance shown at NAV does not include the applicablefront-end sales charge, which would have reduced the performance. The current maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares is 5.50%, and the contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for the1-year period. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund. Class R5 shares’ performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at NAV and includes the12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares’ performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Returns shown for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5, and Class R6 shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and the Fund. Share class returns will differ from those of the predecessor fund because of different expenses. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes, sales charges and new fee agreements, if any. Fund literature is available at invesco.com.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of thesmall-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 companies with higherprice-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of thesmall-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire6-month period ended August 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended August 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such asfront-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Effective August 31, 2019, the Fund’s fiscal year end changed from September 30toAugust 31.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with afront-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations– Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in theover-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange
33 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments inopen-end andclosed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at theend-of-day net asset value per share. Investments inopen-end andclosed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such asinstitution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information,
34 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income -Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on theex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment transactions reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions -Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are recorded on theex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Adviser. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes -The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements. |
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.At period end, the Fund elected to defer $11,601,896 of late year ordinary losses.
2. During the reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
3.During the previous reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

| shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets.Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates -The financial statements are prepared on a basis in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after theperiod-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications -Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule* | | |
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75% | |

Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Next $700 million | | | 0.60 | |
Next $3.5 billion | | | 0.58 | |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.55 | |
*The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
For the eleven monthsended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.62%.
From the beginning of the fiscal period until the date of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $9,689,912 in advisory fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. based on the
38 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.

Invesco has also entered into aSub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.08%, 1.84%, 1.33%, 0.84%, 0.73% and 0.68%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses on short sales; (4) extraordinary ornon-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the eleven months ended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $61,480 and reimbursed class level expenses of $63,743, $2,501, $4,197, and $46,521 for Class A, Class C, Class R, and Class Y, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the eleven months ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services,sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services orsub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and Shareholder Services, Inc. For the eleven months ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for theClass A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares(collectively the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimbursed IDI in an amount up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund plans. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. For the eleven months ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution and service plan fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund.Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the eleven months ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $17,238 infront-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1 and $856 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. From the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the Reorganization, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. retained $63,780 in front–end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $2,122 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemption by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date,
40 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
As of August 31, 2019, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
Note 4 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures for the period October 1, 2018 to May 24, 2019,the Predecessor Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed: Securities sales of $2,228,820, which resulted in net realized gains of $302,900. For the period May 25, 2019 to August 31, 2019, the Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed: Securities sales of $4,954,301, which resulted in net realized gains of $99,091.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
Note 5 – Trustee and Officer Fees and Benefits
The Predecessor Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan.
During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | 2,785 | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 10,034 | |
Accumulated Liability as of August 31, 2019 | | | 110,154 | |
Certain trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of Trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 6 – Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with Citibank, N.A., the custodian bank. Such balances, if any atperiod-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
Note 7 – Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Tothe Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operationsand the statement of changes in net assets for the period from October 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the period from October 1, 2018 August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer Discovery Fund) as of and for the period ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 21, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
Houston, TX
October 29, 2019
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Invesco group of investment companies since at least 1995. We have not been able to determine the specific year we began serving as auditor.
46 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATIONUnaudited
In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.
Capital gain distributions of $11.05787 per share were paid to Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shareholders, respectively, on December 7, 2018. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $6,571,830 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2019, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTSUnaudited
At meetings held on December 14, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved (i) an amendment to the Trust’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund (the Fund), (ii) an amendment to the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. to add the Fund, (iii) an amendment to the separatesub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC to add the Fund, (iv) an amendment to the separatesub-advisory contract with Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited to add the Fund, and (v) an initialsub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts). Additionally, on March 26, 2019, the Boardre-approved an initialsub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. following its change of control as a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Oppenheimer mutual funds (each, an Oppenheimer Fund), by Invesco Ltd. (the OFI Transaction). After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks. At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements andsub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTSUnaudited / Continued
The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for thesub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
50 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. Fund Investment Performance
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub- Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Morningstar expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub- Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases, necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution, oversight of service providers, costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised orsub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2017.
51 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTSUnaudited / Continued
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
52 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it will receive periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit invesco.com for the most recentmonth-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Fund returns include changes in share price and reinvested. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. As the result of a reorganization after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from those of the predecessor fund because they have different expenses. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. See Fund prospectus and summary prospectus for more information on share classes, sales charges and new fee agreements, if any. Fund literature is available at invesco.com.

Fund Performance Discussion
The Master Loan Fund returned-1.21% during theone-year reporting period ending August 31, 2019, underperforming the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”), which returned +3.61%.
MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
During the fiscal period ending August 31, 2019 the markets saw increased volatility as growing trade tensions with China, a slowing global economy and a reversal in Fed policy from a tightening stance to one of easing heightened investor uncertainty. At the end of that time period the Federal Reserve cut interest rates 25 basis points, and the yield of the UST 10 year dropped 122 basis points from a high of 3.23% in November, 2018 to 2.01%. Commodity prices also experienced increased volatility with Oil and Natural Gas
trading down 14% and 20% respectively.
The J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index returned +3.61% for the period and continued to demonstrate less sensitivity to the increased volatility across equity and commodity markets and a declining interest rate environment. In comparison, high yield, as represented by the J.P. Morgan Domestic High Yield Index, returned 6.42% as dissipated fears of rising rates spurred renewed investor appetite for the asset class.

FUND REVIEW
The primary detractors from relative performance this period were security selection in the Diversified Media and Metals & Mining sectors. The loans of a company in the Diversified Media sector experienced significant pressure as the issuer’s equity sponsor unexpectedly ceased the funding it had been providing to company. The secured creditors have organized anAd-Hoc committee and are working towards restructuring the company’s balance sheet to maximize recoveries on the loans. In the Metals and Mining sector the securities of two coal producers experienced pressure as the Coal industry has been out of favor and commodity prices have declined. We are constructive on each of these companies, as our valuations exceed currently depressed trading levels.
During the reporting period, the Fund experienced its strongest outperformance versus the Index from security selection in the Gaming sector, as it was announced that one of our Gaming companies was being acquired at a premium, which resulted in substantial price appreciation. Another strong driver of performance was from security selection in the Transportation sector.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
At the end of the reporting period, relative to the Index, the Fund had modest overweights in the Broadcasting, Metals and Mining, and Telecommunications sectors and modest underweights in the Technology, Healthcare,
and Retail sectors. As a result of the elevated volatility in the markets, the team identified attractive opportunities in some lower single B rated loans, as they experienced more price pressure than larger double B rated loans.
At period end, the overall credit quality of the loan market is also solid with defaults of approximately 1.5%. While select sectors, such as Healthcare and Retail, are experiencing challenges specific to their industries, we believe credit fundamentals can continue to remain solid.

The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of August 31, 2019, and are subject to change. Except for securities labeled “Unrated,” all securities have been rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”) converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest S&P equivalent rating is used. For securities not rated by an NRSRO, the Adviser uses its own credit analysis to assign ratings in categories similar to those of S&P. The use of similar categories is not an indication that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with any NRSRO’s process were that NRSRO to rate the same security. Fund assets invested in Invesco Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund are assigned that fund’s S&P rating, which is currently AAA. For the purposes of this table, “investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories (AAA, AA, A and BBB). Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be the equivalent of investment-grade. Please consult the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for further information.

Fund Expenses
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire6-month period ended August 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended August 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such asfront-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect theone-half year period). The annualized expense ratio, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the6-month period ended August 31, 2019 is as follows:
The expense ratio reflects voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” table in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also shows the gross expense ratio, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

* Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.

1.Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not greater than one year; and/ or have interest rates that float at a margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.
2.Interest or dividend ispaid-in-kind, when applicable.
3.The value of this security was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 3 of the accompanying Notes.
4.All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. The state interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. See Note 9.
5.This security is not accruing income because its issuer has missed or is expected to miss interest and/or principal payments. The rate shown is the contractual interest rate.
6.Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAugust 31, 2019
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as anopen-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or each class.
Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Fund operated as Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (the “Acquired Fund” or “Predecessor Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received the Class R6 shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class R6 throughout this report.
Effective August 31, 2019, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to August 31.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income.
The Fund’s shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), which means that the Fund’s shares may not be sold publicly. However, the Trust may sell the Fund’s shares through private placements pursuant to available exemptions from registration under the 1933 Act. Shares of the Fund are sold only to other investment companies.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund qualifies as a partnership, and each investor in the Fund is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Fund. Accordingly, as a “passthrough” entity, the Fund pays no dividends or capital gain distributions.
The Fund currently offers Class R6. Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such asinstitution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are
31 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in theover-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments inopen-end andclosed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at theend-of-day net asset value per share. Investments inopen-end andclosed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may includeend-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple
32 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income -Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities.Pay-in-kind interest income andnon-cash dividend income received in the form of securitiesin-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on theex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on
33 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment transactions reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
C. | Country Determination- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Federal Income Taxes -The Fund, as an entity, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Fund will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Therefore, a tax provision is not required. Each shareholder is required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to take into account, in its taxable year with which (or within which a taxable year of the Fund ends), its distributive share of all items of Fund income, gains, losses, and deductions for such taxable year of the Fund. A shareholder must take such items into account even if the Fund does not distribute cash or other property to such shareholder during its taxable year. |
Although the Fund is treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes, it is intended that the Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that investment in the Fund would not cause an investor that is a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code (“RIC”) to fail that qualification.
The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended August 30, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.
E. | Accounting Estimates -The financial statements are prepared on a basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a |
34 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after theperiod-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
F. | Indemnifications -Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
G. | Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis -The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on the securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of the securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention on acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
H. | Industry Focus -To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad. |
I. | Bank Loan Risk -Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
J. | Other Risks- The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments.
The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. ornon-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.
K. | Leverage Risk- The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments made with such leverage, the higher volatility of the net asset value of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful. |
Note 2 - Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
From the beginning of the fiscal period until the date of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $2,003,705in advisory fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a mastersub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separatesub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC, and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “AffiliatedSub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such AffiliatedSub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to suchSub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into aSub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
36 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.38% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses on short sales; (4) extraordinary ornon-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For periodended August 31, 2019, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $34,456.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administration fees. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the Custodian) serves as custodian to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid administrative fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services,sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services orsub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and Shareholder Services, Inc. For the periodended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

Note 3 - Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

(a) Securities classified as Level 3 whose unadjusted values were provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer for which such inputs are unobservable. The Adviser periodically reviews pricing vendor and broker methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. Such securities’ fair valuations could change significantly based on changes in unobservable inputs used by the pricing service or broker.
(b) The Fund fair values certain corporate loans using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates the Company’s EBITDA and leverage to determine an implied rating. The yield to maturity on other issues with similar leverage and rating is used as a basis for the discount rate, with an additional illiquidity discount applied. The illiquidity discount was determined based on the implied discount rate at origination. The Adviser periodically reviews the financial statements and monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant are-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. Such security’s fair valuation could increase (decrease) significantly based on a decrease (increase) in the illiquidity discount. Such security’s fair valuation could also increase (decrease) based on an increase (decrease) in the implied rating or a decrease (increase) in the yield to maturity on other issues.
(c) The Fund fair values certain rights received following a merger at the estimated amount of future recovery proceeds from the sale of assets. The Adviser monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant are-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. A significant increase (decrease) in the auction proceeds will result in a significant increase (decrease) to the fair value of the investment.
Note 4 - Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common
40 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures for the period October 1, 2018 to May 24, 2019,the Predecessor Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed: securities sales of $92,605,333, which resulted in net realized lossesof $2,866,555. For the period May 25, 2019 to August 31,
2019, the Fund did not engage in transactions with affiliates.
Note 5 - Director and Officer Fees and Benefits
Certain Directors have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Directors under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Directors in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of Directors’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 6 - Cash Balances
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
Note 7 - Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during theperiodended August 31, 2019 was $371,296,231 and $1,008,629,162, respectively.

Note 10 - Borrowings
Borrowings.The Fund can borrow money from banks in amounts up to one third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings (meaning that the value of those assets must be at least 300% of the amount borrowed). The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing senior loans and other portfolio securities. The Fund also may borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. When the Fund invests borrowed money in senior loans or other portfolio securities, it is using a speculative investment technique known as leverage and changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow because of the effect of leverage.
The Fund will pay interest and may pay other fees in connection with loans. If the Fund does borrow, it will be subject to greater expenses than funds that do not borrow. The interest on borrowed money and the other fees incurred in conjunction with loans are an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield and return. Expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to interest on borrowings and related fees are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations.
At period end, the Fund had no borrowings outstanding.
Details of the borrowings for the reporting period are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Tothe Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operationsand the statement of changes in net assets for the period from October 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the period from October 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) as of and for the period ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 21, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and agent banks; when replies were not received from agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Invesco group of investment companies since at least 1995. We have not been able to determine the specific year we began serving as auditor.
44 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY
Unaudited
At meetings held on December 14, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved (i) an amendment to the Trust’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund (the Fund), (ii) an amendment to the Master IntergroupSub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. to add the Fund, (iii) an amendment to the separatesub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC to add the Fund, (iv) an amendment to the separatesub-advisory contract with Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited to add the Fund, and (v) an initialsub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the AffiliatedSub-Advisers and thesub-advisory contracts). Additionally, on March 26, 2019, the Boardre-approved an initialsub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. following its change of control as a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Oppenheimer mutual funds (each, an Oppenheimer Fund), by Invesco Ltd. (the OFI Transaction). After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and thesub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks. At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements andsub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.
46 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for thesub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considerednon-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers under thesub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the AffiliatedSub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the AffiliatedSub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that thesub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the AffiliatedSub-Advisers

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY
Unaudited / Continued
in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. Fund Investment Performance
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve thesub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory andSub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Morningstar expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) in relation to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts in the Fund’s Lipper category advised orsub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2017.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the AffiliatedSub-Advisers pursuant to thesub-advisory contracts.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board noted that the Fund will not benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints, but
48 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
will share in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the AffiliatedSub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement andsub-advisory contracts.
F. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund will not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds
49 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER MASTER LOAN FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY
Unaudited / Continued
with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher.Visit invesco.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions and a 2.50% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. As the result of a reorganization after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from those of the predecessor fund because they have different expenses. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment.

Fund Performance Discussion
The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned 3.32% during the reporting period. In comparison, the Fund’s Class A shares outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal 1-Year Bond Index (the “Index”), which returned 2.65%. Please note that the fiscal year-end for the fund has changed from May 31 to August 31. The below discussion of the Fund’s performance as of August 31 2019.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The broad municipal bond market experienced positive returns for the fifth consecutive year in 2018, and performance remained strong throughout this fiscal year. Investment grade municipal bonds returned 8.72% and high yield municipal bonds returned 9.81% during the fiscal year.1 Performance was particularly strong during the first eight months of 2019, with investment grade municipals returning 7.61% and high yield municipals returning 9.91%.1
The fiscal year was characterized by supportive technical conditions (supply and demand balances) as new issuance of municipal bonds totaled $351 billion — down nearly 15% from the previous fiscal year.2 Flows into the municipal bond asset class were positive for the last 34 weeks of the fiscal year.3 A consistently positive flow pattern, coupled with continued limited supply, resulted in strong performance across the municipal bond market. Fund flows totaled $52.1 billion from September 2018 through August 2019.3
For the fiscal year, the high yield municipal bond market outperformed the investment grade bond segment, led by improved price discovery on Puerto Rico bonds as a result of developments in the commonwealth’s debt restructuring, as well as strong performance of high yield general obligation securities.
Municipal bonds withstood considerable headwinds during the fiscal year, including interest rate movements that had the 10-year US Treasury yield breaching 2.00% in July 2019.4 Additionally, the US government shutdown, which occurred midway through the fiscal year and lasted 35 days, along with ongoing US-China trade negotiations and Brexit developments, created a challenging market environment. Both investment grade municipals and high yield municipals posted negative returns for the months of September and October 2018. Worsening market conditions exposed the municipal bond market to more sensitivity relating to a sell-off in US Treasuries in September. Despite these challenges, the municipal bond market performed positively for the fiscal year as technical conditions continued to provide tailwinds.

Concerns about future interest rate hikes led to an increased demand for US Treasuries and investment grade municipal bonds alike, and yields continued to fall as high yield securities rallied. The yield curve for 30-year, AAA-rated municipal bonds continued to flatten as trade tensions between the US and China increased worries about inflationary pressures.
During the fiscal year, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds rate two times in September and December 2018 before lowering it in July 2019.5 The two rate hikes, the eighth and ninth since December 2008, were anticipated and reflected increased confidence in the US economy amid low unemployment, relatively stable inflation and overall robust economic growth. This expansionary monetary policy significantly flattened the US Treasury yield curve with a slight inversion on the short end occurring in December 2018.
However, the Fed’s dovish stance at the beginning of calendar year 2019 took the market by surprise, leading economists to change their predictions from two interest rate increases in 2019, to just one. Despite favorable growth and labor trends, the Fed ultimately reversed course and lowered the federal funds rate in July, citing uncertainty about the global economic outlook. The US Treasury curve was inverted at fiscal year-end with the yield on the 2-year US Treasury note exceeding the 10-year note.4 Economist views were mixed as to whether this inversion, the
first since December 2005, signaled a possible recession.
As anticipated, US midterm election results had a positive impact on municipal securities as perceived threats to municipal tax exemptions, further tax reform and changes to the Affordable Care Act were greatly reduced. News of a possible ban on flavored e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes made headlines, which caused a short-lived decline in the valuations of below investment grade tobacco settlement bonds. Meanwhile, year-end demand for yield and coupon payments caused the asset class to end 2018 on a strong note. Investors affected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts of 2017, which instituted a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, poured a record $18.9 billion into municipal bond funds in the first eight weeks of calendar year 2019, the most recorded over that period in at least 13 years.3
At the close of the fiscal year, we believed municipal fundamentals remained strong and viewed the ongoing impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act as a potential market factor. As a result, we believe demand for municipal bond investments could remain strong as retail investors continue to seek tax-exempt income.
Over the fiscal year, security selection in many sectors - including the general obligation (G.O.), hospital/healthcare sectors, and municipal leases, the Fund’s largest, second largest, and eighth-largest sectors, respectively - significantly contributed to the Fund’s performance. The gas and water
5 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER SHORT TERM MUNICIPAL FUND
utilities sectors and the education sector, among other sectors, were also strong contributors to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s holdings in the single-family housing and marine/aviation facilities sectors produced the strongest single-sector returns this fiscal year. While none of the Fund’s sectors detracted from performance, the Fund’s holdings in some sectors - including the airlines, student housing, and not-for-profit organizations sectors (representing less than one-tenth of 1% of assets at fiscal year-end) - were underperformers relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal 1-Year Index.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.
Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) was renamed Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019, when Invesco’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds was finalized. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Charlie Pulire managed the predecessor fund since 2010. Effective June 21, 2019, the portfolio management team of this fund was changed to Mr. Pulire (lead manager) and Mark Paris.

The percentages above are based on the market value of the securities as of August 31, 2019 and are subject to change. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser) determines the credit allocation of the Fund’s assets using ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs), such as S&P Global Ratings (S&P). For any security rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the Adviser converts that security’s rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest rating is used. For securities not rated by an NRSRO, the Adviser uses its own credit analysis to assign ratings in categories similar to those of S&P. The use of similar categories is not an indication that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with any NRSRO’s process were that NRSRO to rate the same security.
For the purposes of this Credit Allocation table, securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest categories—AAA, AA, A and BBB—are investment-grade securities. For further details, please consult the Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher.Visit invesco.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Performance shown at NAV does not include the applicable front-end sales charge, which would have reduced the performance. The current maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares is 2.50%, and the contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for the 1-year period. Class Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund. Class R6 shares’ performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at NAV and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares’ performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Returns shown for Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and the Fund. Share class returns will differ from those of the predecessor fund because of different expenses. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Fund Expenses
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended August 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended August 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations– Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
52 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER SHORT TERM MUNICIPAL FUND
Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income -Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment transactions reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions -Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Adviser. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes -The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements. |
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.At period end, the Fund had $13,023,514 of net capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions.
2. During the reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
3.During the previous reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

| | | | |
F. | Expenses -Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
| shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates -The financial statements are prepared on a basis in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications -Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis -The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on the securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of the securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention on acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
J. | Other Risks- The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Fund’s investments in municipal securities.
There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 2 - Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule* | | | |
| |
Up to $100 million | | | 0.500% | |
Next $150 million | | | 0.450 | |
Next $250 million | | | 0.425 | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.400 | |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.370 | |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.350 | |
*The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
For the period ended August 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.40%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC, and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 0.79%, 1.54%, 0.54% and 0.44%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
During the reporting period, the Adviser and OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. did not waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund or Acquired Fund, respectively in relation to this

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
arrangement.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administration fees. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby Citibank, N.A. serves as custodian to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid administrative fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and Shareholder Services, Inc. For the period ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimbursed IDI in an amount up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund plans. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. For the period ended August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution and service plan fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the period ended August 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $4,103 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $14,831 and $493 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.

Note 3 - Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2019. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 4 - Trustee and Officer Fees and Benefits
Certain Trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustees under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of Trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 5 - Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with Citibank, N.A., the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
Note 6 - Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period ended August 31, 2019 was $205,807,651 and $159,139,487, respectively.

For the period from June 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019 | | For the period from June 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019 for Class A, Class C and Class Y For the period from June 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 and the period from May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) through May 31, 2019 for Class R6 |
The financial statements of Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund) as of and for the year ended May 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to May 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 25, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other

auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.
None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. 100% of the dividends were derived from interest on municipal bonds and are not subject to federal income taxes. To the extent a shareholder is subject to any state or local tax laws, some or all of the dividends received may be taxable.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service.

There were no amendments to the Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) during the period covered by the report. The Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provisions of the Code to the PEO or PFO during the period covered by this report.
ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
The Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee financial experts are David C. Arch, Bruce L. Crockett, Cynthia Hostetler, Elizabeth Krentzman, Anthony J. LaCava, Jr., Teresa M. Ressel, Raymond Stickel, Jr. Robert C. Troccoli and James Vaughn. David C. Arch, Bruce L. Crockett, Cynthia Hostetler, Elizabeth Krentzman, Anthony J. LaCava, Jr., Teresa M. Ressel, Raymond Stickel, Jr. Robert C. Troccoli and James Vaughn are “independent” within the meaning of that term as used in FormN-CSR..
ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
During the reporting period, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC (“PwC”) advised the Audit Committee of the following matters for consideration under the SEC’s auditor independence rules. PwC advised the Audit Committee that a PwC Director, a PwC Manager and a PwC Senior Associate each held financial interests in investment companies within the Invesco Fund Complex that were inconsistent with the requirements of Rule2-01(c)(1) of RegulationS-X. PwC noted, among other things, that during the time of its audit, the engagement team was not aware of the investments, (or with respect to the PwC Senior Associate was not aware until after the investments were confirmed as SEC exceptions), the individuals were not in the chain of command of the audit or the audit partners of Invesco or the affiliate of the Registrant, the services each individual provided were not relied upon by the audit engagement team with respect to the audit of the Registrant or its affiliates (or with respect to the PwC Senior Associate, the services were performed by an individual who did not have decision-making responsibility for matters that materially affected the audit and were reviewed by team members at least two levels higher than the PwC Senior Associate), and the investments were not material to the net worth of each individual or their respective immediate family members which they considered in reaching their conclusion. PwC advised the Audit Committee that it believes its objectivity and impartiality had not been adversely affected by these matters as they related to the audit of the Registrant.
On May 24, 2019, certain investment advisor subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. assumed management responsibility from Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. (“OFI”) for 83open-end mutual funds and 20 exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “Oppenheimer Funds”). Assumption of management responsibility for the Oppenheimer Funds was accomplished through the reorganization of each Oppenheimer Fund into a new Invesco shell fund (collectively, the “New Invesco Funds”) that did not havepre-existing assets (together, the “Reorganizations”). The Reorganizations were part of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, “Invesco”) of the asset management business of OFI (including the Oppenheimer Funds) from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), which was also consummated on May 24, 2019 (the “Acquisition”). Subsequent to the Acquisition, MassMutual became a significant shareholder of Invesco, and the Invesco Ltd. board of directors expanded by one director with the addition of a director selected by MassMutual.
Prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the Reorganizations on May 24, 2019, PwC completed an independence assessment to evaluate the services and relationships with OFI and its affiliates, which became affiliates of Invesco upon the closing of the Acquisition. The assessment identified the following relationship and services that are inconsistent with the auditor independence rules under Rule2-01 of RegulationS-X (“Rule2-01”) if provided to an affiliate of an audit client. A retired PwC partner who
receives a benefit from PwC that is not fully funded, served as a member of Audit Committee of the Boards of Trustees of certain Oppenheimer Funds prior to the Acquisition (the“Pre-Reorganization Relationship”). Additionally, PwC provided certainnon-audit services including, expert legal services to one Oppenheimer Fund, custody of client assets in connection with payroll services, anon-audit service performed pursuant to a success-based fee,non-audit services in which PwC acted as an advocate on behalf of a MassMutual foreign affiliate and certain employee activities undertaken in connection with the provision ofnon-audit services for MassMutual and certain MassMutual foreign affiliates (collectively, the“Pre-Reorganization Services”).
PwC and the Audit Committees of the New Invesco Funds each considered the impact that thePre-Reorganization Relationship and Services have on PwC’s independence with respect to the New Invesco Funds. On the basis of the nature of the relationship and services performed, and in particular the mitigating factors described below, PwC concluded that a reasonable investor, possessing knowledge of all the relevant facts and circumstances regarding thePre-Reorganization Relationship and Services, would conclude that thePre-Reorganization Relationship and Services do not impair PwC’s ability to exhibit the requisite objectivity and impartiality to report on the financial statements of the New Invesco Funds for the years ending May 31, 2019 – April 30, 2020 (“PwC’s Conclusion”).
The Audit Committees of the Boards of Trustees of the New Invesco Funds, based upon PwC’s Conclusion and the concurrence of Invesco, considered the relevant facts and circumstances including the mitigating factors described below and, after careful consideration, concluded that PwC is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment in connection with its audits of the financial statements of the New Invesco Funds that the respective Boards of Trustees oversees.
Mitigating factors that PwC and the Audit Committees considered in reaching their respective conclusions included, among others, the following factors:
• | | none of thePre-Reorganization Relationship or Services created a mutuality of interest between PwC and the New Invesco Funds; |
• | | PwC will not act in a management or employee capacity for the New Invesco Funds or their affiliates during any portion of PwC’s professional engagement period; |
• | | other than the expert legal services,Pre-Reorganization Services that have been provided to OFI, MassMutual and their affiliates do not have any impact on the financial statements of the New Invesco Funds; |
• | | as it relates to the expert legal services, while the service provided by PwC related to litigation involving one Oppenheimer Fund, the impact of the litigation on the Oppenheimer Fund’s financial statements was based upon OFI’s decision, and OFI management represented that the PwC service was not considered a significant component of its decision; |
• | | while certain employees of OFI who were involved in the financial reporting process of the Oppenheimer Funds will be employed by Invesco subsequent to the Reorganizations, existing officers of other Invesco Funds will serve as Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer or equivalent roles for the New Invesco Funds, and are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of all financial statement assertions for the entirety of the financial reporting periods for the New Invesco Funds; |
• | | thePre-Reorganization Services giving rise to the lack of independence were provided to, or entered into with, OFI, MassMutual and their affiliates at a time when PwC had no independence restriction with respect to these entities; |
• | | with the exception of the expert legal service provided to one Oppenheimer Fund, none of thePre-Reorganization Services affected the operations or financial reporting of the New Invesco Funds; |
• | | thePre-Reorganization Services provided by PwC to OFI, MassMutual and their affiliates were performed by persons who were not, and will not be, part of the audit engagement team for the New Invesco Funds; and |
• | | the fees associated with thePre-Reorganization Services were not material to MassMutual, Invesco or PwC. |

(e)(1)
PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT ANDNON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees
of the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)
Last Amended March 29, 2017
| I. | Statement of Principles |
The Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee”) of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) have adopted these policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) with respect to thepre-approval of audit andnon-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditor (the “Auditor”) to the Funds, and to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Service Affiliates”).
Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit andnon-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee. Rule2-01 of RegulationS-X requires that the Audit Committee alsopre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor fornon-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”).
These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee maypre-approve audit andnon-audit services for the Funds and a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds (“Applicable Rules”).1 They address both generalpre-approvals without consideration of specificcase-by-case services (“general pre-approvals”) and pre-approvals on acase-by-case basis (“specific pre-approvals”). Any services requiringpre-approval that are not within the scope of generalpre-approvals hereunder are subject to specificpre-approval. These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee ofpre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.
| II. | Pre-Approval of Fund Audit Services |
1 Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on NYSE.
The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specificpre-approval by the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.
In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specificallypre-approve engagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.
| III. | General and SpecificPre-Approval ofNon-Audit Fund Services |
The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of GeneralPre-ApprovedNon-Audit Services which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee. To inform the Audit Committee’s review and approval of GeneralPre-ApprovedNon-Audit Services, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.
Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of GeneralPre-ApprovedNon-Audit Services have not received generalpre-approval and require specificpre-approval. Each request for specificpre-approval by the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee)and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether topre-approve such engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.
| IV. | Non-Audit Service Types |
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specificpre-approval of audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.
“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by an independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specificpre-approval of the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee orfee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee maypre-approve other non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor.Appendix I includes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the SEC rules.Appendix I also includes a list of services that would impair the Auditor’s independence unless the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements.
| V. | Pre-Approval of Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements |
Rule2-01 of RegulationS-X requires that the Audit Committeepre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor fornon-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”.
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specificpre-approval of any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds. Any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of GeneralPre-ApprovedNon-Audit Services have not received generalpre-approval and require specificpre-approval.
Each request for specificpre-approval by the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her
designee)and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of thepre-approval process involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule2-201 of RegulationS-X) with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds. Additionally, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a statement that the proposed engagement requirespre-approval by the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.
Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor fornon-audit services, whether or not subject topre-approval by the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds. The Funds’ Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.
| VI. | Pre-Approved Fee Levels or Established Amounts |
Pre-approved fee levels or ranges for audit andnon-audit services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, under generalpre-approval or specificpre-approval will be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximumpre-approved fee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented to the Audit Committee and will require specificpre-approval by the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.
The Audit Committee hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, topre-approve audit andnon-audit services proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings. Such delegation does not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case by case basis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider andpre-approve any proposed services or engagements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audit Committee mustpre-approve: (a) anynon-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.
| VIII. | Compliance with Procedures |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure topre-approve any services or engagements that are not required to bepre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of RegulationS-X shall not constitute a violation of these Procedures. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to ensure services and engagements arepre-approved in compliance with these Procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to bepre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of RegulationS-X.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of allnon-audit services provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section2-01(f)(14) of RegulationS-X, including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were notpre-approved, including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.
| IX. | Amendments to Procedures |
All material amendments to these Procedures must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee.Non-material amendments to these Procedures may be made by the Legal and Compliance Departments and will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
